A modified version of the patch, adding "ignore the apt-get update warning below" to the output. Background is, that if any error is detected during cachefile.cc pkgCacheFile::BuildCaches, apt will print the warning: W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems In the case of an unreadable source list this is misleading.
The code printing the apt-get update warning: /* This sux, remove it someday */ if (ErrorWasEmpty == true && _error->empty() == false) _error->Warning(_("You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems")); ** Patch added: "apt-unreadable_sources.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/849736/+attachment/2796483/+files/apt-unreadable_sources.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/849736 Title: apt-cache policy silently shows inaccurate information when any file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d is unreadable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/849736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
