Re: Bug#23892: apt: Uncaught exception from user code
Hi,
At the moment, the ftp method uses the Perl Net::FTP library
to implement the gory details. That system library chooses to
error-exit when things time out. In the next version, the exit shall
be handled more gracefully, so it shall not be an uncaught
exception.
I have choosen to have warning turned on in the ftp method,
and also have verbose diagnostic messages turned on if available, so
you see a series of messages as the error bubbles upward through
layers of system code.
If this proves too disconcerting, I could turn off warnings
and verbose errors, and display cryptic UNIX error codes.
Once a post 16.0 release s made, this bug, I think, can be
closed.
