Package: apt Version: 0.3.3
The 0.3 series of apt seems to miscalculate the remaing download. I've noticed this mostly in "apt-get update"; I've not yet convinced myself that it occurs during an install run. Typically, the Packages file for main runs about ~500k. After my connection gets up to speed, I get about 1Mb/minute, so the Packages file should take 30 seconds (and indeed, it does). However, the estimated remaining time counts down from about 20 minutes, then makes big jumps as each file finishes (assuming I'm get the contrib and non-free Packages files as well). I *think* the "percentage of total" number shows similar behavior, so I'm guessing that the total size (sum of files) is being miscalculated somehow. -- System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux molehole 2.0.36 #2 Sun Feb 21 15:55:27 EST 1999 i686 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.1.1-0.1 GNU C Library: shared libraries ii libstdc++2.9 2.91.61-1 The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version)
