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.=20
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.=20
This happened once before and as I recall I fixed it by invoking=20
apt-get manually with the -m option.
Example output from dselect's [I]nstall option with apt as the access metho=
d:
