Re: [hobbit] apt plugin from debians hobbit-plugins package

[Rasmus Simon-Riegel <hv11623 (at) devk.de>]

i made a little change in /usr/lib/hobbit/client/ext/apt

in @stamp_files add "/var/lib/apticron/last_run" and remove "/var/lib/apt/lists/lock".

before:
my @stamp_files = qw(/var/lib/apt/update_success /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-stamp /var/lib/apt/lists/lock);
after:
my @stamp_files = qw(/var/lib/apt/update_success /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-stamp /var/lib/apticron/last_run);

works fine in lenny
