Package: apt Version: 0.3.16 Severity: wishlist Hi!
My sources.list is like this: deb ftp://ftp.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/pub/linux/mirror.debian potato main contrib non-free deb ftp://basis.globe.de/debian potato main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/mirror/ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian potato main contrib non-free All three mirrors are available, but the first two are currently de-synced. So I added ftp.uni-stuttgart.de which has a current archive but is much slower than the first two. When I use apt-get to install new software, apt pulls the package from ftp. rz.uni-karlsruhe.de even if ftp.uni-stuttgart.de does have a newer package. I'd like to have apt notice that and ask me which version of the file it should install. That way, one could have maximum performance for packages available on a "near" server while only resorting to a server that is more far away when that server has a later version.
