Just an update about apt-listbugs. It still seems to behave the same
way, even when I'm running apt-get within an xterm (actually
gnome-terminal). Apt-get runs along as usual, then gets to this line:
Retrieving bug reports... Done
and seemingly hangs. It is instead waiting for me to respond to the
question:
[something overwritten in my terminal window] the above packages?
[Y/n/?/...]
When I hit return, I'm answering the default 'Y'. Note that this prompt
is also after a good 10 or 20 lines of bug reports about the packages
I'm installing, so it isn't just a one-off kind of thing.
It dawned on me that maybe I haven't been giving the full story about
this. I don't run apt-get straight, I run a little shell script I've
put together that logs everything apt-get does, and I suspect this is
the source of the problem. The script basically rotates copies of the
logfiles so that I have a record of the last 30 days of changes, then it
runs the following:
/usr/bin/apt-get $* | tee -a $APT_LOG_FILE
I suspect that something isn't happy between tee and apt-listbugs. This
command works just fine for apt-get promptings (use the package
maintainers copy of config files or mine, for instance).
Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
