Hi all,
I have been using apt-show-versions for over a year and most of the
time its been good. Sometimes though it throws a curveball. For
instance mozilla.debian.net has made some changes to its repo.
http://glandium.org/blog/?p=2115
basically the /etc/apt/sources.list a user needs to add the following
lines to use/check out the releases from mozilla.debian.net
#Debian mozilla repostiory
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-beta
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-aurora
Now did that and re-ran and $sudo aptitude update
Tried to use apt-show-versions to see if all the releases are shown or not.
$ apt-show-versions -a iceweasel
iceweasel 5.0-2 install ok installed
iceweasel 3.5.16-6 stable http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 3.5.19-3 testing http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 3.5.19-3 sid http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 5.0-2 experimental http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 6.0~b1-1 experimental mozilla.debian.net
iceweasel/experimental uptodate 5.0-2
As can be seen iceweasel only shows 6.0 beta version for mozilla.debian.net
Seeing the same in aptitude versions gives a slightly different picture
$ aptitude versions iceweasel
p 3.5.16-6 stable 500
p 3.5.19-3 testing,unstable 500
i 5.0-2 experimental 100
p 6.0~b1-1 experimental 1
p 7.0~a2+20110707042018-1 experimental 1
I like/prefer apt-show-versions as you also get the full address of
from where you are getting the version thing (for e.g.
mozilla.debian.net is not an official debian repo). Please fix this,
its an annonying bug.
