Bug#378630: apt: Acquire::Pdiffs { "false"; }; fails
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.44.2
Severity: normal
In http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-devel@lists.debian.org/msg236153.html, Martin Schulze writes that pdiff downloads can be turned
off by adjusting apt.conf:
Acquire::Pdiffs { "false"; };
I added this to /etc/apt/apt.conf, but pdiffs are still downloaded in droves:
