tseliotmvo: is there a way to retrieve the path to a deb package in the ubuntu pool with python-apt? For example x11-common is in x/xorg/10:29
mvotseliot: yes, give me a sec, I check it out for you, its a bit complicated iirc10:30
tseliotmvo: thanks10:30
mvotseliot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/3875010:36
tseliotmvo: great! Thanks a lot, it's exactly what I need10:37
liwmvo, apropos your excellent stuff: is there a reason why one might not want to run unattended-upgrades? I've been using it for a week or so now, and it seems to great that I'm worried that I'm missing a big problem somewhere10:38
liwbecause whenever something seems too good to be true, there's usually a hidden problem somewhere10:38
ion_I’ve been attended-upgrades on multiple boxes for ages and never had a problem.10:39
* hwilde does not run unattended out of principle10:39
hwildei like to know when i'm breakin my system10:39
liwI'm running it on a dozen systems now, and it's saving me significant amounts of time to not have to run apt-get manually on each of them several times a week10:39
liwall stable systems (Debian etch or Ubuntu hardy)10:40
mvoliw: there is no hidden problem that I'm aware of10:41
mvoliw: it just works :)10:41
liwmvo, well, dang, now you're really making me nervous :)10:41
mvoliw: I think we just never turned it on for everybody out of caution, it would make a bad update auto install on a lot of system10:42
wgrantHow does it handle things like the OpenSSL vulnerability, with lots of debconf promptsZ?10:42
wgrant-Z10:42
liwmvo, yeah, it's probably not something that should be enabled by default10:43
mvowgrant: it runs with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive and trusts the packages that they do the right thing (the right thing may be to just mail the admin for help via debconf). it also will not upgrade stuff automatically if there are conffile changes10:44
wgrantmvo: Aha, that does sound optimal.10:44
maswanFor all my work systems, I prefer updates to happen both when I expect them and during working hours. Likely testing the updates on a test system first too, before rolling out everywhere.10:44
maswanBut then that's the other kind of special case.10:45
wgrantThat's the kind of case where you don't want automated upgrades, so wouldn't activate them...10:46

Riddellzul: xen-3.3 creates libxen3 which was previously in main and made from xen-3.214:41

zulRiddell: yes it does14:41

Mezkirkland, ah, fair enough then15:25
Mezhe'll know better... :D15:25
persiaMez: RIght now, waiting for Debian is a dangerous game: Debian is frozen for Lenny release, and when they open, it will include a dump of a fair bit of experimental.15:28
persia(that said, I don't have an opinion about updating pidgin)15:28
Mezpersia, oh yeah, the freeze...15:29
Mezunstable can still recieve uploads though15:29

Riddellkirkland: what's it missing?16:00
Riddellasac: is there a new version of network-manager?16:00
kirklandRiddell: I'm on the server team, and we're making a concentrated effort to get as many of the core init scripts to support the LSB "status" action, which you can run to determine whether or not a given service is running16:00
kirklandRiddell: I have a patch for KDM, but I notice that it does not source /lib/lsb/init-functions, and doesn't depend on lsb-base16:01
kirklandRiddell: that's somewhat odd...  i haven't seen many init scripts that don't use the lsb functions for logging, etc.16:01
Riddellkirkland: probably just unloved16:02
kirklandRiddell: okay, it's almost always present, but I'll add it to the control as part of my patch, and source it too16:02

jdstrand    on it to a mere recommendation. Closes: #31629717:43
kirklandjdong: and perhaps something more like postfix|mail-transport-agent17:44
kirklandjdstrand: based on that changelog, we could probably lower it to a "Suggests"17:44
