[Bug 973432] Re: APTGETOPT setting doesn't reach satisfy-depends command

[Mattia Rizzolo]

ok, I'll close this, then.
BTW, have a look also at PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSOPT, though
consider it's not passed directly to apt-get, but through the resolver,
which will interprer it on its own.

Title:
  APTGETOPT setting doesn't reach satisfy-depends command

Status in pbuilder package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in pbuilder package in Debian:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The configuration file /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc defines the
  variable APTGETOPT which is used by (among others) /usr/lib/pbuilder
  /pbuilder-satisfydepends-gdebi.

  But since APTGETOPT is defined as a shell array and satisfy-depends is
  invoked as a sub-command, the setting never reaches the command
  because the shell cannot pass arrays to sub-processes.

  A workaround for this is to explicitly 'unset´ APTGETOPT in
  ~/.pbuilderrc and to export it as a normal variable. This works even
  though the satisfy-depends command uses it as an array.
