> Still apt shouldn't choke because 3rd party repos make it unable to access the main Ubuntu repos, and subsequently complain with inaccurate error messages about the URLs it thinks it cannot access.
I agree. My experience with this issue suggests that my crappy internet connection is causing apt to time out when it can't reach the repos quickly enough. But even if my connection is to blame, apt should be more resilient. Maybe by simply retrying a couple of times. With regard to GUIs, I experience this issue in the CLI as well as in Synaptic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574886 Title: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
