Package: apt
Version: 1.0.10.2
Severity: normal

If apt detects a missing transport (such as apt-transport-https), it
will abort the entire apt update, including any in-progress updates over
other transports.

When combined with #555674 (still present in unstable), the failed apt
update causes apt to mark other packages as untrusted, including
apt-transport-https.

Thus, to securely install apt-transport-https, I had to temporarily
comment out the https repository, update, install apt-transport-https,
and uncomment the https repository.

Even without that bug, though, aborting the rest of the update seems
excessive.

This and many more instances are fixed in the newest /experimental
version, specifically with commit 90b56f54 aka "avoid using global
PendingError to avoid failing too often too soon".
