Bug#71503: apt: [hurd] doesn't support MS_SYNC

[Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.18
Severity: important

Hi,

the Hurd doesn't support MS_SYNC on mmaped memory objects, sorry,
and it is not easy to add (because of gnumach shortage). Please add the
following workaround: Replace the two occurences of

#ifdef _POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO

in apt-pkg/contrib/mmap.cc to

#if defined(_POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO) && !defined(__GNU__)

until the Hurd is fixed (which might take months to years, so it is not
feasible to hold your breath :)

Thanks,
Marcus
