Package: apt
Version: 1.0.10.2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
If I run "apt-get update" (or "aptitude update") when the network is down (or
the proxy is unavailable), APT forgets everything instead of keeping using the
old data.
E.g. if I "Disconnect" the netowrk and run the following command:
(export LANG=C; aptitude show emacs; apt-get update; aptitude show emacs)
I get something like:
Package: emacs
New: yes
State: not installed
Version: 46.1
Priority: optional
Section: editors
Maintainer: Rob Browning <r...@defaultvalue.org>
Architecture: all
Uncompressed Size: 25.6 k
Depends: emacs24 | emacs24-lucid | emacs24-nox
Description: GNU Emacs editor (metapackage)
GNU Emacs is the extensible self-documenting text editor. This is a
metapackage
that will always depend on the latest recommended Emacs release.

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
E: The value 'testing' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a
release is not available in the sources

Notice how the first "aptitude show" happily described the "emacs" package
before the update and couldn't do it any more after the update. Instead I get
some bogus complaint about "testing" being an invalid setting for APT::Default-
Release.
