Status: Requires dpkg modifications

Summary: Feature request
Status: Fixed in 0.3.0 via the -u option
-#25704: apt: apt will not install dotfile

-#26426: apt: "b" is not "y"
- Status: This is fixed.
-#26535: apt: doesnt want to install apache-ssl
- Status: I think this is fixed
-#26723: apt: apt 0.1.6 installs not correctly
- Summary: A package did not correctly install
- Status: It's not possible this is an APT bug. It is either wmaker or dpkg.
#21113: [Apt] In dselect, update dies and exits if the packages file is not found.
Status: Fixed in 0.3.0
#22675: APT does not honor the --admin-dir option
Status: 0.3.0 has substantially better support for this to the point
that it is doable by using a seperate configuration file and
the -c option
-#24363: removing apt dependancies on dynamic libraries
- Status: this is just a silly bug, why is it still open!?
-
+#27601: srange errors from dselect
+ Summary: Couldn't locate an archive source
+ Status: Require status file
+ Believed to be fixed in 0.1.9, was not reproducable w/ given
+ status file
+#27841: apt: apt depends on a missing library
+ Status: New versions of APT in slink have been compiled with libstdc++2.9
+#23984: apt: support for "no_proxy" would be nice
+ Status: Planed to be integrated into the new methods via the configuration
+ file
+ Done - Use Acquire::http::proxy::host.com="DIRECT"
+#25021: apt: Need some control over multiple connections
+ Status: Probable that 0.3.x will have support for configuing some
+ parameters
+ Done - Use Acquire::Queue-Mode="access"
+#25019: apt: Confusing progress report
+ Summary: Gripes about the progress meter
+ Status: I do not intend to implement very many of these ideas in apt-get.
+ The GUI will naturally be better
+ I think the new progress meter address basically everyone's
+ concerns.
+#25022: apt: Lack of feedback on date checking
+ Summary: Wants to know what package files were not updated
+ Status: There is no place for this in the current apt-get design,
+ probably won't make the GUI either.
+ Wee, the new acquire code allows this, it now prints out 'Hit'
+#26019: apt may report wrong line speed
+#26433: apt: claims to fetch things it doesn't actually fetch (wishlist)
+#28778: apt: apt's fetched message is wrong for update of packages files
+ Summary: APT includes the fetch time from the local cache in its
+ calculations
+ Status: Probably will be fixed with new acquire code
+ And it actually was fixed with the new acquire code
+#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...

+ 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 enviornment 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

+ Status: Fixed in .3, use Dselect::Clean "prompt"

+ Summary: Version compare differs from dpkg
+ Status: Fixed in all CVS versions.

-- Silly things
#26592: apt: Problems with ftpd in SunOS 5.6
+#29903: apt-get insists onto sending a SIZE command
Summary: SunOS ftpd does not support the SIZE command
Status: Probably not worth fixing
#20723: Apt suggestion
#23934: apt-get source <package>
#27190: apt: installing source packages (wishlist)
Status: Impossible to do without an index file for all source archives.
-#26019: apt may report wrong line speed
-#26433: apt: claims to fetch things it doesn't actually fetch (wishlist)
- Summary: APT includes the fetch time from the local cache in its
- calculations
- Status: Probably will be fixed with new acquire code
#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'
#22551: apt: wish: use dist X iff pkg does not exist in dist Y
#27100: apt: Better support for project/experimental
Status: GUI Feature - Version selection and pinning
-#25019: apt: Confusing progress report
- Summary: Gripes about the progress meter
- Status: I do not intend to implement very many of these ideas in apt-get.
- The GUI will naturally be better

- Summary: Wants to know what package files were not updated
- Status: There is no place for this in the current apt-get design,
- probably won't make the GUI either.
+#28172: HTTP Proxy cache refresh should be forced for corrupted packages
+ Summary: Some problem resulted in a corrupted package
+ Status: I belive 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.
+#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.
