If an archive is broken (non-existent, unreachable) , apt should
(timeout and) try the next archive in the list to get the files from
there. Currently, apt does not time out, and if the archive is broken, it
reports errors and won't upgrade, even if another archive on the list is
intact. Apt does rule , however.
