I would love for that to have been the case, but my experience does not reflect it being so. Maybe somehow I'm running an older apt-get version than what has the fix(es)? But as far as I know that's shipped in the 'apt' package, and I have that at version 2.2.4, which is what's currently in both stable and testing (unsurprising given that they should currently be nearly identical). -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
