Public bug reported:
Hi, Please find attached a screenshot showing what happens when some repositories are not available. I think this dialog can be improved a few ways: - rather than just displaying 2 lines (of 12), display all tweleve - rather than just displaying as much as will fit horizontally, perhaps perform common string replacement and display things heirarchically? e.g. in this case the url might be: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/foo/main/binary-amd64/Packages http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/foo/main/source/Sources http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/foo-updates/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages perhaps: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ foo/main/binary-amd64/Packages foo/main/source/Sources foo-updates/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages instead?
