It sounds like you didn't get that to work..but if you did, and you got decent
performance, please forward it to debian-hurd@lists.debian.org! The Hurd has
some problems with apt due to the fact that it (the Hurd) lacks an msync()
system call, used by apt to increase reliability; if an mmap()less apt could be
made to work (which I actually doubt, since that memory map is so central to the
whole library) it would help tremendously.
