Package: apt Version: 0.1.9 Severity: normal I'm not sure if this is actually a bug or not. I set apt up as my access method in dselect. I updated my availability list and started a transfer. This went over the course of several Package list updates. It seems that if one file fails, apt won't install the packages which didn't. Possibly it should ask if an override should be attempted. It throws the errors, then the screen clears and I'm sent back to the dselect menu. This happened once before and as I recall I fixed it by invoking apt-get manually with the -m option. Example output from dselect's [I]nstall option with apt as the access method: Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...ok The following packages will be REMOVED: libzvt-dev kterm fbset2 mesag2 xfntbig fvwm2-plus intlfonts-japanese-big intlfonts-japanese intlfonts-chinese The following NEW packages will be installed: gnome-hello uvscan The following packages have been kept back util-linux mount 27 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 9 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
