tags 783652 wontfix thanks Hi again,
Although I regret that errors occur more frequently when using tor, I don't believe this is one to be fixed in every apt transport. Apt provides the config value "Apt::Acquire::Retries" that should retry downloads whether it's HTTP, HTTPS or any other mechanism. Unless there is a specific issue that is tor-specific, that can be fixed automatically by the transport code (i.e. doesn't require restarting the tor daemon?), I think it should be left to that config variable. I would, however, accept a patch to mention the above config value in the apt-transport-tor documentation - and when that happens, I would close this bug. Kind regards, -- Tim Retout <dioc...@debian.org>
