apt-get upgrade sometimes needs -f
i'm running testing/sid most of the time, this is an
FYI in case you see similar problems...
the past few weeks/months when i do:
apt-get update
and then the
apt-get upgrade
and answer Y the responses may include lines like:
E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lame/libmp3lame0_3.99.5+repack1-6_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 64.50.236.52 80]
when i use the -f option after the upgrade like:
apt-get upgrade -f
it will download these files and things work as
expected.
