Bug#679602: task-spooler: Wrong section Tasks

June 30th, 2012 - 03:00 am ET by Adrian Lang | Report spam
Help Create a new topic
Package: task-spooler
Version: 0.7.3-1
Severity: minor

In aptitude, the package appears in the section ›Tasks‹, though the package
description says it’s in ›Section: misc‹. I guess the problem is the package name,
but I’m not sure whether that’s a bug in aptitude or whether non-task packages
are not allowed to have a name starting with ›task-‹.

Debian Release: wheezy/sid
APT prefers unstable
APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
Foreign Architectures: i386

Kernel: Linux 3.4-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

Adrian: Thanks for bringing up the idea that this may be an aptitude
bug!

Since http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/task-spooler.html says section
"misc", it's likely an issue in aptitude. Reassigning.

Regards, Axel

Aptitude was checking the name started with "task-*" when it should
have been checking the actual section. Fixed:

[master 99e7df8] Do not group packages as tasks section based on their name
