Bug#77029: apt gets confused when a .deb is not there though it's in its internal db
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: normal
[I think this might be related to 55820, so feel free to merge... :-| ]
I copy all .debs from /var/cache to some other place, which gets its own
Packages file. Now I've removed one of the debs there... the entry
in the Packages file was still there.
apt-get now reported an Err on that .deb at that location, and proceeded
to download it from the first ftp mirror in my sources.list
The strange thing is that the first throughput display shows some xxxMB/s
(I'm not even on a DSL ;-). After a couple more seconds, that display
disappears.
And the total percentage (the one at the beginning of the line) is 50%, and
it seems to be static.
Bye, J
