Ignore Held packages; This global options causes the problem resolver to
ignore held packages in its decision making.
+dit(bf(Clean-Installed))
+Defaults to on. When turned on the autoclean feature will remove any pacakge
+which can no longer be downloaded from the cache. If turned off then
+packages that are locally installed are also excluded from cleaning - but
+note that APT provides no direct means to reinstall them.
+
dit(bf(Immediate-Configure))
Disable Immedate Configuration; This dangerous option disables some
of APT's ordering code to cause it to make fewer dpkg calls. Doing
is very dangerous and may cause package install scripts to fail or worse.
Use at your own risk.
+dit(bf(Force-LoopBreak))
+Never Enable this option unless you -really- know what you are doing. It
+permits APT to temporarily remove an essential package to break a
+Conflicts/Conflicts or Conflicts/Pre-Depend loop between two essential
+packages. SUCH A LOOP SHOULD NEVER EXIST AND IS A GRAVE BUG. This option will
+work if the essential packages are not tar, gzip, libc, dpkg, bash or
+anything that those packages depend on.
+
dit(bf(Get))
The Get subsection controls the bf(apt-get(8)) tool, please see its
documentation for more information about the options here.
Number of retries to perform. If this is non-zero apt will retry failed
files the given number of times.
+dit(bf(Acquire::Source-Symlinks))
+Use symlinks for source archives. If set to true then source archives will
+be symlinked when possible instead of copying. True is the default
+
dit(bf(http))
HTTP URIs; http::Proxy is the default http proxy to use. It is in the standard
form of em(http://[[user][:pass]@]host[:port]/). Per host proxies can also
location to place downloaded archives, bf(Dir::Cache::archives). Like
bf(Dir::State) the default directory is contained in bf(Dir::Cache)
-bf(Dir::Etc) contains the location of configuration files, bd(sourcelist)
+bf(Dir::Etc) contains the location of configuration files, bf(sourcelist)
gives the location of the sourcelist and bf(main) is the default configuration
file (setting has no effect)
bf(Options) this must be specified in list notation. The commands
are invoked in order using /bin/sh, should any fail APT will abort.
+dit(bf(BPre-Install-Pkgs))
+This is a list of shell commands to run before invoking dpkg. Like
+bf(Options) this must be specified in list notation. The commands
+are invoked in order using /bin/sh, should any fail APT will abort.
+Apt will pass to the commands on standard input the filenames of all
+.deb files it is going to install, one per line.
+
dit(bf(Run-Directory))
APT chdirs to this directory before invoking dpkg, the default is /.
