Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.9-2 Severity: minor When you press u and all your sources are from one server aptitude estinates the size of each file to retrieve as zero before it gets the size from the server. For the first files the file progress and the total progress match each other exactly until 100% when the next file is rquested and the total size recomputed. The total size keeps going to 100% and then back down for each file. This makes the progress bar a look amateurish. Suggestions:
1) if the file is replacing a previous on (~100% of cases) use the size of the old one as the initial size until it is known. 2) If no previous size is available use 1M to make the estimate pessimistic. Which would you prefer? 1) Get told to come back in 10 minutes, come back in 10 minutes and find it's all done. 2) Get told to come back in 5 minutes, come back in 5 minutes and be told to come back in 3 minutes, come back in 3 minutes and be told to come back in 1 minute. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-p4 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3 0.5.28.6 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-2 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-1.2-5c102 1.2.5-4 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.6-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: pn aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-do <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
