Well yes, but this is -REALLY- bad the archives should not be so horrificly desynced this often - and this badly :< A md5 failure is something I thought would be very rare.

Yes, that is what I am thinking, but it's a bit more convoluted because you have to recalculate where you are going (I think I already have a routine that can do this though) Hm, it might be really simple then.. <ponder> > Also, does apt check secondary archives (I do not have any, at > the moment, but I shall rectify that)? No, it checks only the first archived mentioned to have the file. Is there a reason to support secondary archives? Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
