actually I remember I see it on "update" and I still have this issue
but IIRC only for experimental, unstable seems good now.

I agree there, but I have this issue for Ubuntu yakkety 

it doesn't happen when not using a proxy, and usually retrying it a
few times is fine, and the package goes in aptcache (so, it disappear
quickly)

what about in this case copy-back and delete if the copy wasn't successful?

mv foo.deb $aptcache
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
#good

else

    rm $aptcache/foo.deb 



or something like that I guess.

thanks for the help :)
