[...] While it's true that the man page states what you quoted, it also goes on stating: | The notable configuration options are followed by a list of the options that are read and used by apt-listbugs. And Acquire::http::TimeOut is _not_ included in the list... As a consequence, yours is actually a feature request. I am setting the severity accordingly. As far as the feature request itself is concerned, it seems to me that apt.conf(5) man page says: | The option timeout sets the timeout timer used by the method; this | value applies to the connection as well as the data timeout. It's not too clear to me whether the value is in seconds or in some other unit of measurement. Where is this documented? Anyway, I'll try and take a look at some method to set the timeout for ruby-httpclient. Let's hope it's not too difficult to do. Unfortunately, I won't be able to act soon: I am afraid you'll have to wait some time... Bye. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
