The recent changes to compression handling in apt-pkg/indexcopy.cc broke apt-cdrom: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/924182 I think the right answer is to use FileFd::Auto rather than FileFd::Extension in the two relevant parts of indexcopy.cc, so that FileFd will iterate through compression types rather than assuming that the compression type will be encoded in the file extension, which isn't the case here. === modified file 'apt-pkg/indexcopy.cc' --- apt-pkg/indexcopy.cc 2011-12-19 13:42:48 +0000 +++ apt-pkg/indexcopy.cc 2012-01-31 10:30:00 +0000 @@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ bool IndexCopy::CopyPackages(string CDRO string OrigPath = string(*I,CDROM.length()); // Open the package file - FileFd Pkg(*I + GetFileName(), FileFd::ReadOnly, FileFd::Extension); + FileFd Pkg(*I + GetFileName(), FileFd::ReadOnly, FileFd::Auto); off_t const FileSize = Pkg.Size(); pkgTagFile Parser(&Pkg); @@ -797,7 +797,7 @@ bool TranslationsCopy::CopyTranslations( string OrigPath = string(*I,CDROM.length()); // Open the package file - FileFd Pkg(*I, FileFd::ReadOnly, FileFd::Extension); + FileFd Pkg(*I, FileFd::ReadOnly, FileFd::Auto); off_t const FileSize = Pkg.Size(); pkgTagFile Parser(&Pkg); Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
