Control: tags -1 + moreinfo help
Hi, 2011-01-16 00:00 David Jonathan Bush:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1 Severity: wishlist If a package is read from a DVD by aptitude and an error occurs such as hash sum mismatch, instead of simply failing the install, allow the option to read the same package from an online repository. As things stand, an awkward workaround exists to remove reference to the flawed DVD from /etc/apt/apt.conf but why shouldn't aptitude be able to look elsewhere automatically? The DVD may still be usable for other packages.
The available computers that I have do not have optic media readers, so I cannot reproduce this, so help to reproduce/confirm (or even fix :-)) is welcome. I thought that perhaps by adding the online repository in /etc/apt/sources.list aptitude would pick packages from both places, isn't this the case? Cheers. -- Manuel A.
