Package: apt Version: 0.1.7 Severity: wishlist I use apt with a mirror list. Here is my sources.list file:
deb http://www.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://www.de.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US deb http://www.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free But sometimes the list of packages retrieved from www.de.debian.org contains packages that have not yet been mirrored onto this host. This makes "apt-get dist-upgrade" fail, because it cannot retrieve the package. It would be great if apt used all the alternatives (in order) when an error occurs, so that the mirror gets used if the packages are up-to-date, the original site otherwise.
