Package: software-center
Version: 2.0.7debian7
Followup-For: Bug #648289
Hello,
here are more details. The problem is in origin.py plugin
OriginPlugin.info:
file = apt.apt_pkg.config.find_file("Dir::Cache::pkgcache")
return dict(timestamp = os.path.getmtime(file))
This should be:
file = apt.apt_pkg.config.find_file("Dir::Cache::pkgcache")
try:
timestamp = os.path.getmtime(file)
except OSError:
timestamp = 0
return dict(timestamp=timestamp)
In my system, /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin does not exist. There is
instead an odd variation which looks like a leftover tempfile:
$ ls -a /var/cache/apt/
. .. apt-file archives pkgcache.bin.r8C355
This might be highlighting a bug in something else; however it is still
important that origin.py can deal with a missing pkgcache.
In the meantime, I'll try to make apt-xapian.index more fault tolerant
towards bugs in plugins.
Ciao,
Enrico
