Bug#35737: apt: Download speed and/or download time remaining are broken

[Steve Mayer <smayer@ipinc.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.3

Using apt-get dist-upgrade, I've noticed that the b/s rate cycles between
0 and 1 although I can see that I'm getting around 5.2K-5.5K transfer rates.
This of course leads to outrageous "download time remaining" values; e.g
1545d 15h etc...
