Re: Bug#25200: apt: more apt troubles
OK, I'm talking about apt 0.0.17-1bo0 which i got yesterday, that's
Fri Jul 30 1998 from the next mirror. It's the same version as there is
under:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/hamm/upgrade-i386/
and under:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/upgrade-i386/

possibly could be.

Except maybe for the text "bug".
