Re: Re: Re: Net::SSH::Perl with apt-get

Well it most definately addresses his problem if you would care to even read the source for the script. It really does not matter what he is trying to upgrade (an entire distro list or a single package) the syntax for apt-get is the same.

What he needed from my script was the "-y" argument telling apt-get to answer yes to all asked questions. You can take my entire script and change a few lines and have it upgrade single packages. So as I am sure you can see now is that yes it does address his problem.

This is very odd, and not the way I would assume it works. I will have to verify this. For you see, when I run "apt-get install anjuta" on the commandline (without Net::SSH::Perl), it does not require any interaction. We can see the output: apt-get install anjuta Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: anjuta 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgrade +d. Need to get 2633kB of archives.

I have just verified that using the "-y" does not produce different results. I think this is more of a Net::SSH::Perl problem than an apt problem :-/ Rohit Mehta	[reply]
