Bug#812365: /usr/bin/apt-get: when download of a package list timeouts it is reported as Ign rather than Err

[Michal Suchanek <hramrach@gmail.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.0.10.2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/apt-get

Hello,

I was wondering why apt-get update randomly ignores some packages files
and after adding some debug options it turns out that the download times
out and apt reports Ign before the source name.

This is a rather unfortunate way to report download failure.

Timeout should cause Err to be printed just like any other error.

Thanks

Michal
