[Bug 1308670] Re: "apt-get -s --print-uris update" does not work on Tahr

[David Kalnischkies]

(History-digging response) After sending my reply I actually wondered
about the lock as well: A simple test revivaled that the current version
has no problem with it, but now I had a closer look: I vaguely remember
problems with locking as well, but I am not sure if that was related to
'update'. A casual look for changes in that area leads me to git commit
1cd1c398 from 4 years ago, which looks a bit like it could be the fix
for this.

Title:
  "apt-get -s --print-uris update" does not work on Tahr

Status in “python-apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Tahr:
  $ apt-get -s --print-uris update
  E: Command line option 's' [from -s] is not known.

  On saucy (expected result)
  $ apt-get -s --print-uris update
  NOTE: This is only a simulation!
        apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
        Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
        so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
