Package: apt Version: 0.7.24 Severity: wishlist Hi!
Is it possible to add an option to send "Pragma: no-cache" when retrieving index files and binary packages (like wget's --no-cache), please? One real case that this would help: my parents use an ISP that have a broken proxy. I can keep running "aptitude update" for a long time and it will always give me outdated files. I need to run "wget -O /dev/null --no-cache http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.bz2" for example, to flush their cache. Thank you very much!
