Bug#269168: dselect doesn't show "new" packages any more when update of some source fails
Package: dselect
Version: 1.10.23
Severity: minor
At some point (I have a record of an inquiry about it from June 12th, but
the problem has been existing for at least a month before that) dselect hasn't
been showing me new packages that become available after you do an [U]pdate of the
available package sources.
Originaly dselect would report that it failed to download some Packages.gz à la:
Failed to fetch http://marillat.free.fr/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Could not resolve
'marillat.free.fr'
but would show all the new packages that have become available never the less.
