IIRC, the secured stuff was turned off because the *old* (potato) apt couldn't handle it - correct? (The flamewar at the time covered a wide range of topics, I may have missed something...;-) But people should be able to upgrade directly from potato to woody! A while ago, there was a proposal by Santiago Garcia Mantinan (also archived with #97364) to kludge around the problem with the old apt by putting the secured directory onto the CD, deeply nested in other dirs. There was no reply to this on the list - would it make sense to change debian-cd to do this?

Yes, that's why i'll probably only enable it for woody+1 ... but it's good that woody's apt doesn't have that problem so we won't be in the same situation in woody+1. > A while ago, there was a proposal by Santiago Garcia Mantinan (also > archived with #97364) to kludge around the problem with the old apt by > putting the secured directory onto the CD, deeply nested in other > dirs.

I don't like it much either, because it's really a crude hack. :) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog -+- http://strasbourg.linuxfr.org/~raphael/ Le bouche à oreille du Net : http://www.beetell.com Naviguer sans se fatiguer à chercher : http://www.deenoo.com Formation Linux et logiciel libre : http://www.logidee.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
