Regeneration is faster than I thought it will be. I was really surprised seeing my Alioth and svn accounts working again after one day. You're right. Probably I'm trying to be too quick. Anyway I think there should be no harm in asking also on debian-mentors. Regards, -- Marcin Pawlik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to deity-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#222267: Example in apt_preferences(5) does not match descriptive text

Package: apt Version: 0.5.14 Severity: minor The man page for apt_preferences(5) includes an example with some associated descriptive text stating what the example does. However, the example does not match what the text says. The following patch fixes the example to match the descriptive text. --- apt_preferences.5.old 2003-11-26 15:00:00.000000000 -0800 +++ apt_preferences.5 2003-11-26 14:59:50.000000000 -0800 @@ -163,8 +163,8 @@ and whose release Version number is "3.0 .nf Package: * -Pin: release a=unstable, v=3.0 -Pin-Priority: 50 +Pin: release a=stable, v=3.0 +Pin-Priority: 500 .fi .SS "HOW APT INTERPRETS PRIORITIES" .PP -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Default-Release "testing"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; -- /etc/apt/preferences -- Package: * Pin: release testing Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release unstable Pin-Priority: 600 -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux zzyzx 2.4.22-1-386 #1 Fri Sep 5 20:56:48 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.3.2-4 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.2-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to deity-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have finally been able to process 1 of the apt man documents successfully. I must admit though that I went 1 step further than just correcting the docbook SGML documents. I used apt-cdrom.8.sgml in my attempt to get the docu processed. I converted the docu from docbook3 to docbook xml 4. The document I have now can be check and processed easily with respectively xmllint and xmlto. Attached are the updated documents and the resulting man page. I hope that you can accept the new document format and have them included in the release. I can't check if debian has an xmlto package or support for docbook4 as the server are offline. In case the "patch" will be accepted I will convert the other man documents as well. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless cdrom.8.xml Description: Text Data apt-cdrom.8 Description: Troff document
