Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 As it's Easter today, my DSL connection is slightly (?) unreliable.
Thus when I tried to do my usual "apt-get update", I got frequent "data socket timed out". Then on the next "apt-get update", at first it printed the last byte count of the Package to be downloaded, but then it suddently resetted back to 0 and redownloaded to whole file. Not so if you manage to Ctrl-C or kill apt-get update *before* the "data socket timed out" happens. Then it properly resumes file download at the byte count where it left off. I assume that it has to do with time stamping of the package file. My suspicion is that maybe a "data socket timed out" abort doesn't update the downloaded file timestamp properly, whereas Ctrl-C or kill does. Thus apt-get notices that there's a partial file and prints its byte count, but an instant later it recognizes that the time stamp is incompatible and proceeds with redownloading the whole file. In short: the "data socket timed out" abort part should probably be fixed. -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Tel. +49 7159 800604 http://home.arcor.de/andi.mohr/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
