configure-index: Add APT::Color option

2020-03-24T09:24:39Z

This caused unbound error list growth, because each time we dumped an error, the calls to _config->FindB() inside operator << would add 3 new errors of the form: W: Using unknown config option »apt::color« of type BOOL Hence we are dumping an infinite list of errors, and eventually that list will exceed available memory.

Show absolute time while waiting for lock instead of %, rework message

2020-03-06T12:14:37Z

Showing a percentage for a timeout is pretty non-standard. Rework the progress class so it can show an absolute progress (currently hardcoded to use seconds as a unit). If there is a timeout (aka if it's not the maximum long long unsigned -1llu), then show the timeout, otherwise just count up seconds, e.g. Waiting for cache lock: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 33842 (apt)... 1/120s or Waiting for cache lock: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 33842 (apt)... 1s Also improve the error message to use "Waiting for cache lock: %s" instead of "... (%s)", as having multiple sentences inside parenthesis is super weird, as is having two closing parens. We pass the information via _config, as that's reasonably easy and avoids ABI hackage. It also provides an interesting debugging tool for other kinds of progress.

apt(8): Wait for frontend and cache lock

2020-02-26T19:36:52Z

This is a rework of !6 with additional stuff for the frontend lock, so we can lock the frontend lock and then keep looping over dpkg lock.

doc: remove "WIP" from apt.8.xml

2020-02-13T14:16:43Z

The current man-page has "(work in progress") for `apt list`. I feel after more than >5y we can remove this.
