Bug#690053: Don't try to download Translations files if repository doesn't contain such files
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.5
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I'm running a private repository. Its error logs are filled with entries like this:
File does not exist: [..]/dists/[..]/i18n
making these files incredibly large (several dozens MB) and unreadable.
It would be nice if apt would honor a flag or even the _non-existence_
of hashsums of Translation-* files in the repository "Release" file and
stop trying to download Translation-* files - note that I'm not speaking
about Acquire::Translations on the users side.
Even security.debian.org doesn't provide Translations and could benefit
from such a behaviour/flag too, decreasing the number of file accesses
and the resulting work load for the server.
Regards, Daniel
