Bug#59723: apt: seconded *** Please type your report below this line ***
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Followup-For: Bug #59723
This is getting more and more annoying now that there are many
third-party apt sources around besides the official Debian archives. I
have about 25 different servers in my sources.list, and invariably at
least one of them is down each time I apt-get update, causing the whole
session to take 10 minutes or more as each connection times out
individually. Very frustrating!
Ideally, the timeout threshold should be shorter and apt should not try
to fetch other package lists from a server that it just timed out on.
