If you look closely, you will see that all files appear multiple times in the output. The reason here is simply that the first is the download, the second the decompression of the downloaded file and the third applying of the patch. Its similar for other files (download, decompression), in terms of Release files even a gpgv step… Somehow, its an implementation detail the layer responsible for this output doesn't know: A file has to emerge through various steps before being "complete" and maybe someone should told the layer this fact. On the other hand, if you know what happens, you can see progress… After all, you noticed it now only because of the special (read: bad) handling pdiffs get and that is something which should really be changed as these could be a lot more useful if all are downloaded in a batch, merged and after that applied instead of downloading and applying them patch after patch… Lets see when someone will find the time to implement/fix this… Best regards David Kalnischkies P.S.: Another message i found in my draft folder which should have been sent out nearly a month before… strange. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
