Hi Christoph,

2011-06-06 20:28 Christoph Egger:
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-4
Severity: normal

Aptitude stops in update after hitting a outdated (invalid) release
file instead of downloading & checking the other repositories.

Can you please confirm if this still happens, and provide an example
(repositories and results)?  I am not quite sure about what you mean.

To hazard a guess, it looks to me that upon seeing a problem with the
repositories, by policy (lib)apt decides that this is the best way to
proceed (fail loudly), so the user notices the problem and takes some
action if desired, rather than potentially go unnoticed for a long time.

APT deities (by the manifestation of David Kalnischkies) told me that:

 "629449 you can probably close. apt < 1.1 had this behaviour, >= 1.1
 should still cry loudly about the one broken repo, but update the
 others just fine"

So I guess that this is a satisfactory resolution, closing now.

Please reopen if you still experience a problem related with this.


Cheers.
