#24000: Bug in apt Version: 0.0.17-1bo0
Summary: Couldn't locate an archive source for a package
Status: Require Status file.
-#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.
#24717: apt dies early if one postinst/preinst dies
Status: Requires dpkg modifications
-#22892: Apt improvements
-#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.
#25104: APT should retry failed downloads
Summary: FTP method has problems with busy servers
Status: The 0.3.0 ftp method should probably use the configuration mechanism
Summary: FTP method has no controls for firewalls
Status: The 0.3.0 ftp method should probably use the configuration mechanism
to control this desired behavoir.
-#29441: documenting the codes for -s
- Summary: Apparently the simulation output is not immediately obvois
- Status: Someone should update the man page.
-- Fixed but unclosed things
#25026: apt: Why do you list the packages you're _not_ doing anything to instead of the ones you are?

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 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.
+ 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."

+#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.
