Mint apt python wrapper (usr/local/bin/apt), not compatible with Debian apt (usr/bin/apt)

Post by MaxChen »

posting.php?mode=quote&f=47&p=1470794 said that "Under the hood it is still running the original commands."

However, I found that there is a small bug

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo  apt -y upgrade
running in Linuxmint 20.3 should be modified to

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo  apt upgrade  -y
say, move the -y to the end. That is annoying. Would you please make it compatible with the Debian's apt?

This was fixed for some commands - "install", "remove", "update", "clean" - for 20.3, but not upgrade - https://github.com/linuxmint/mintsystem ... 401e8c616c

Report it as a bug here - https://github.com/linuxmint/mintsystem/issues
