Package: apt Version: 0.5.3 Severity: important Multiple times now when doing apt-get -duy upgrade (>100M in total), it said
Get:N ....... VERSION [156kB] and then proceeded to fetch mutch more than that, showing s.th. like [N blah 757342/1507kB] This doesn't happen right away... that also means, if I stop apt-get with an INT, and restart, it shows the correct download stats. It only happens after a couple of pkgs have been downloaded... I wish I could give more info, but unfortunately it seems to be pretty indeterminate. There are no *.FAILED pkgs in /var/cache/apt/archives from this... the packages just vanish on interrupting apt-get, it seems (so on restart it fetches again from the beginning) Being on a 33.6 modem line, this is really annoying, as it *really* fetches stuff... though since it happens to fetch more than the server should give it, this should be impossible, right? Guess I'm gonna watch which servers it happens on... could be (or should be, as the Get:N line seems to get its info from the Packages file whereas the progress report seems to come from the HTTP transfer (right?)) (If this persists... well, apt-get apparently should check the info gotten from the server against the info it has. Maybe the first N bytes *are* the correct pkg...) -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux wanderer 2.2.19-wanderer #2 Mon Mar 26 16:20:48 CEST 2001 i686 Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.2-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-0.010407 The GNU stdc++ library
