[Bug 1815760] Re: Additional hooks for update

[Brian Murray]

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/1.2.30 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed-xenial

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  We want to write some scripts for apt that run on update if apt shows an update count, to provide further details about the new cache.

  [Test case]

  Specify a APT::Update-Post-Invoke-Stats script and check that

  (1) it shows in apt update
  (2) it does not show in apt-get update

  [Regression potential]
  More scripts may fail the update now, but there should not be any registered so far.
