Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3+squeeze1
Severity: important
Hello dear Listers,
apt-get install sucks ....
after upgrade to Squeeze 6.0.3 it seems still not to work properly.
apt-get install cups*
does not download the packages ???
And cups*-installation fails because of "missing packages" ...
What is up with apt-get ???
My machine is not in panic ... but me !
For hints thank you !
happy hacking.
