Public bug reported: backportpackage's attempt to detect whether -sa is needed or not is foiled by private PPAs, as hitting https://launchpad.net/~whomever/+archive/whatever/+files/my_file redirects to the login page. httplib2 follows redirects, and the login page returns a 200, so backportpackage concludes it doesn't need to pass -sa.
Not totally sure what the right fix here is. My recollection was that determining this from using the LP API was difficult, but I haven't looked at the options in a while. ** Affects: ubuntu-dev-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1106429 Title: [backportpackage] -sa detection does not worth with private PPAs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-dev-tools/+bug/1106429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
