broken updates in aptitude & connection failed
Hi,
Often i get a "Connection failed" message when trying to update my
packages. This happens with apt-get and aptitude.
Last time i did this, aptitude tried to download several
packages and because of failed connections (and thus failing to
ddwnload certain packages) it only installed a few packages thus
leaving some that where depending on other packages not
downloaded in a broken state.
Is there a way to make sure aptitude first tries to download all packages
and only updates if ALL packages are succesfully download?
I think my sources list is broken somehow so i've included it.
It always seem to be the same lines that fail:
