Package: apt-cacher
Version: 1.7.6
Severity: normal
# /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-precache.pl --help
USAGE: /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-precache.pl [ options ]
Options:
-d, --dist-filter=RE Perl regular experession, applied to the URL of Packages
files to select only special versions. Example:
'sid|unstable|experimental'
(default: 'testing|etch')
-q, --quiet suppress verbose output
-l, --list-dir=DIR also use pure/compressed files from the specified dir
(eg. /var/log/apt-cacher) to get the package names from.
Words before | are ignored (in apt-cacher logs). To
create a such list from clients, see below.
-p, --by-priority=RE Perl regular expression for priorities to be looked for
when selecting packages. Implies threating all packages
with this priority as installation candidates.
(default: scanning the cache for candidates without
looking at priority)
NOTE: the options may change in the future.
You can feed existing package lists or old apt-cacher logs into the selection
algorithm by using the -l option above. If the version is omited (eg. for lists
created with "dpkg --get-selections" then the packages may be redownloaded).
To avoid this, use following one-liner to fake a list with version infos:
dpkg -l | perl -ne 'if(/^(i.|.i)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)/) { print
"$2_$3_i386.deb\n$2_$3_all.deb\n"}'
If you take a look at this "one-liner" it artificially implants "i386" and
"all" into package names.
If run this "one-liner" on an AMD64 system, it generates the incorrect package
names for the system.
In addition to the above, it generates incorrect package names for all packages
that were installed as multi-arch. (Ie: It fails to process
all packages that have a :i386 or :AMD64 in them.
Example:
root@BabyCats:/mnt/Backups/pkglist# dpkg -l | grep yelp
ii libyelp0 3.4.2-1+b1
amd64 Library for the GNOME help browser
ii yelp 3.4.2-1+b1
amd64 Help browser for GNOME
ii yelp-xsl 3.4.2-1
all XSL stylesheets for the yelp help browser
However, the "one-liner" in the pre-cacher help generated these files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 23 01:52 yelp_3.4.2-1+b1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 23 01:52 yelp-xsl_3.4.2-1_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 23 01:52 yelp-xsl_3.4.2-1_i386.deb
Which are incorrect for the platform.
