Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist
When using apt with a [relatively] large sources.list and a command like
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, a single source failure fails the whole
cascade. There should be a "non-fatal" flag for sources.list signifying
that the particular source isn't necessary to the continued health of the
job. This problem gets exacerbated by automated jobs such as cron-apt and
flaky sources.

If you look closely you should see it only fails to download the sources
that are actually failing, all others are still downloaded and processed
as normal.
