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

[Steve Mayer <tattoo@ipinc.net>]

Jason,

  Doesn't seem to be a problem with apt.  Sorry about the inconvenience.  

  There seemed to be an issue with one of the latest potato libs and the 
  generic 2.0.36 kernel off of the Debian 2.1 cd's.  After I downloaded and
  built a 2.2.5 kernel(Noname), the problem went away.

  I wish I could let you know which lib it was, but I downloaded 155 upgraded
  packages all at once, so I'm not sure.

Thanks again,

Steve Mayer
