Package: apt
Version: 0.3.13
Severity: normal
/usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/update bangs out with an error code if apt-get
update cannot fetch one of the package lists. Given that apt-get already
does error-recovery, and that only some of the package lists may have failed
to download (and old, supposedly 'known-good' copies used in their place),
update should run the "Merging Available information" portion regardless.
I was tempted to flag this bug as grave, since security updates will never
be applied by dselect to a system where any of the entries in sources.apt is
broken.
Temporary patch:
file: /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/update
replace the line:
$APTGET $OPTS update
with the lines:
set +e
$APTGET $OPTS update
set -e
