Bug#26433: apt: claims to fetch things it doesn't actually fetch (wishlist)

[<tpapp@students.ahuwc.k12.nm.us>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.1.5



-- System Information
Debian Release: 2.0
Kernel Version: Linux students 2.0.33 #1 Tue Jan 13 04:11:09 MST 1998 i586 unknown

When I run apt-get update, I get the following message:

root@students:~#apt-get update
Get http://ftp1.us.debian.org unstable/contrib Packages
Get http://master.debian.org all/ Packages
Get http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US Packages
Get http://master.debian.org libc6/ Packages
Get http://ftp1.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
Get http://ftp1.us.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages
Fetched 1791k in 1s (914k/s)
Updating package file cache...done
Updating package status cache...done
Checking system integrity...ok

My problem is that apt-get doesn't actually fetch these files just checks for
changes. As a result it displays irrelevant values, like 914k/s.
