repoen 184354 thanks I will reopen because the problem was fixed by removal of code, not as option (as suggested by the reporter of the bug) and I intend to fix this soon the right way. No verification is not a sane approach 'cause this could lead to repeated trips to the connected computer in case of failures.
I also found some cases where the md5sums might miss, but not due to a lack of that info in the archive: I want to add a feature to be able to do apt-get update (by using the connected computer) and found out that apt-get -qq --print-uris will print 0 for the checksum for the Packages files, so checking in this case would not be practical nor correct. Still I would like to see a case where the debs' md5sums are missing within a apt-gettable repository. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
