i could do that, but the weird thing is, i cannot think of
a thing in the world that apt could do to bring down
a system. all it was instructed to do was download packages,
even if it had a fatal error or segfault it shouldn't
of affected the system in any way..

now if it was actually upgrading a package and that part
bombed i could understand ..but not just doing a download ...
