[Aptitude-devel] Bug#766122: thwarted due to missing partial/ directory that we aren't going to use anyway

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.11-1
Severity: wishlist

Here we see that we had all the archives we needed,
but are thwarted anyway due to a missing partial/ directory that we
aren't going to be using anyway.

Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 98.2 MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] Y
E: Archives directory /mnt/usb/extra1/partial is missing. - Acquire (30: Read-only file system)
Writing extended state information...

In the worst case the user could not proceed and must make a trip to
town to purchase additional read-write media upon which to make a
partial/ directory.
