premature aborts?

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,

	Is there a way to build in a trifle more tolerance for the
 upgrade process? In the session detailed below, a package failed the
 md5sum, and the whole upgrade stopped dead.

	I think that if there a way to put a package on hold
 temporarily and recalculate the ordering, one can handle fasiled
 downloads and all.

	Also, does apt check secondary archives (I do not have any, at
 the moment, but I shall rectify that)?

	Short of deselecting the failed package (or putting it on
 hold), I can see no way of using apt upgrade.
