+#26670: apt: apt-get dumps core after checking integrity
+ Summary: Some terminal environments cause APT to crash
+ Win95 telnet and emacs term-in-a-buffer are two at least
+ Status: I have no idea why.
+ Seems to be gone in .3, whatever it was...
+#25001: apt: cleaned out archive even though not all files were installed
+ Status: Apparently in some cases APT can return a success code even
+ though it failed. I'm paying very close attention to this in
+ 0.3.x. Not to mention that the clean behavior will be
+ configurable..
+#28391: apt-get install without upgrading
+ Summary: Make install leave the package in the keep state if it is already
+ installed
+ Status: Will be implemented in 0.3.0
+ Try the --no-upgrade options
+#28373: apt package is missing information on ftp.conf
+#29293: apt: Docs reference apt(8) but apt(8) not provided.
+ Summary: The man pages have references to several non-existent items,
+ ftp.conf is only one of them.
+ Status: Fix the man pages. This certainly will be done in 0.3.0
+#24799: Some suggestions for the apt method in dselect
+ Summary: Wants to be able to specifiy -d from dselect
+ Status: Likely a APT_OPTIONS environment variable will be created, -d can
+ be put there.
+ There is already an APT_CONFIG in 0.3, APT_OPTIONS may also
+ appear..
+ Use Dselect::Options "-d" and others
+#29920: Wish for more verbosity on "has no installation candidate"
+ Summary: More reports
+ Status: Already fixed in .3
+#29382: apt: apt deletes packages after installation without any question
+ Summary: Obvois.
+ Status: Fixed in .3, use Dselect::Clean "prompt"
+#30027: apt: version comparison bug
+ Summary: Version compare differs from dpkg
+ Status: Fixed in all CVS versions.
+#30260: apt: wishlist: do not return to main menu without prompting for return
+ Summary: Wants to prompt after dselect update
+ Status: Fixed in v3, use dselect::promptafterupdate "true";
+#29441: documenting the codes for -s
+ Summary: Apparently the simulation output is not immediately obvois
+ Status: Someone should update the man page.
+#24685: HTTP Proxy cache refresh
+ Summary: Some caches hold onto the package index file for too long
+ Status: It may be possible to insert the proper header to disable
+ caching but I can't think how to do this while allowing
+ the cache to return cached objects - in effect it would
+ completely disable the cache which may not be desired.
+ APT now sends a max age header. See the apt.conf(5)
+#28172: HTTP Proxy cache refresh should be forced for corrupted packages
+ Summary: Some problem resulted in a corrupted package
+ Status: I believe this reflects a deeper problem and the suggested solution
+ is only a band-aide patch. I intend to close this bug when #24685
+ is fixed with a configuration directive.
+ Use -o acquire::http::no-cache=true
+#29351: poor error message after conffile update
+ Summary: APT errors when the package file is not found
+ Status: The new APT warns better and the error is not fatal
+#30112: apt: internal error in apt
+ Summary: APT gives an unclear error when it cannot correct dependencies
+ Status: Error is clearer
+#30324: apt-get lying about file dates in /var/state/apt/lists
+ Summary: Doesn't copy the file dates right with file URIs
+ Status: Fixed in v3
+#30383: apt: dist-upgrade msg "E: Internal error, ScoredFix generated breaks."
+ Summary: libc6 maddness causes bizzar problems
+ Status: Fixed in v3
+#29983: apt: Wrong diagnostic, could be better
+ Summary: It doesn't explicy say you should be root
+ Status: Fixed in v3
+#22892: Apt improvements
+ Summary: Bails if an index file can't be found
+ Status: Fixed in v3
+#28184: apt could be smarter regarding mirrors
+ Summary: Make use of redundant sources
+ Status: 0.3.0 will likely do this, already the information for it is stored.
+#27646: Apt: dpkg --merge-avail
+ Summary: Suggestion to call merge avail after each update operation
+ Status: Unlikely. The dpkg --print-avail functions should be obsoleted
+ by the apt-query program which should be written.
+ Use the dselect script, alias or something.
+#26663: rsync file access
+ Status: Unlikely, rsync does not provide the necessary support to be
+ a terribly good method. I do not intend any 'split mode'
+ support (ie a way to get Package files via rsync and .debs
+ via http)
+#27100: apt: Better support for project/experimental
+ Status: GUI Feature - Version selection and pinning
+ Honors the NotAutomatic flag
+#30643: base: apt-get update problems with http-/ftp-caches (i.e. squid)
+ Status: Fixed as best I can. Try the Acquire::http::No-Cache option.
