I'll test this approach and see if it help: # cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10tor-retry Apt::Acquire::Retries "3"; # > 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 doubt restarting the tor daemon is required to recover from the broken connections.

What about including an apt.conf.d fragment with the package, similar to the one above? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
