Package: aptitude

It's a good thing that aptitude downloads diffs instead of the full
Packages.gz file for people who upgrade their system a lot.  However, when
doing it only once every few weeks, the sum of all the diffs seems to be
larger than the Packages file itself.  It thus actually costs a lot more time
to download all the diffs instead of less.

AFAIK aptitude knows the size of the downloaded files before downloading them.
It should only download the diffs if the sum of their sizes is smaller than
the size of the Packages.gz file.  If not, it should just download the
Packages file only (as it does when the diffs are unavailable).

Thanks,
Bas Wijnen

Hi,

I think this is already done.  I'm closing the bug, since I never had
any problems anymore.
