Bug#47392: apt: accidental remove of /var/cache/apt/archives/partial prevents further downloads

[Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler <ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.13
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

 I accidental removed the subdir 'partial' from /var/cache/apt/archives/.
 This caused apt-get to fail for subsequent downloads.

 Though this was obviously my fault, I think that checking if all the directories
 to be accessed would make apt more robust (especially inside archive or lists
 directories).

 Thanks,

  Ulf
