Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.11-1+b1 Severity: normal I often see the following behavior: 'aptitude upgrade' says it needs to get several packages, prompt me whether to continue, I say yes, then it fails with '404 Not Found' errors.
Then I redo 'aptitude upgrade' right away, and it often works. Why does it fail the first time? Here is an example from this morning: # aptitude upgrade W: The "upgrade" command is deprecated; use "safe-upgrade" instead. Reading package lists...
