Actually the condition persists for several days at a time. (still as we speak).
What that means to the end user is that he cannot use apt-get dist-upgrade, not apt-get dselect-upgrade, but instead must use a combination of apt-get upgrade and apt-get install of other packages, for most of the rest of the week. The most I've seen in the past with sid is overnight situations with other packages. But with transmission it lasts many days. I'm not saying it's your fault. I'm saying maybe the Debian building/packaging system needs to be reengineered to better deliver all the components closer together in time to the mirror stream. Or perhaps apt needs a new dist2-upgrade and dselect2-upgrade to not get caught the current way. >From the end user of apt's perspective, all four packages should arrive at the same time on the mirrors. Any other combination is useless to the end user. Can you please reengineer what you are doing, or reassign this bug to the build system to address what is happening, as I'm sure it affects other packages that have the special build situation you mentioned, and provided snapshot graphics of -- which though over my head, should make sense to the build system authors. The idea for a retitle of this bug would be something about "there are some parts of a group of packages that need special processing. Please make sure they all get sent out to the mirrors as a group when this processing is done, and not separately." Odd that that processing takes more than one day though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
