Dear Maintainer, Looking at tools/mirror/reprepro [1], I see that this script runs 'reprepro update' in a loop, until reprepro_retries (default: 20) is reached. However, it's a bit strange that, if ever reprepro_retries is reached, the code doesn't error out with a message such as "There are still dependencies missing after $i attempts!". Instead, the script silently keeps going, and exits with zero, as if there was no problem. I'd suggest to either: - error out when reprepro_retries is reached, as suggested above. - if it's not considered an error, at least print a message to say that reprepro_retries was reached, and clarify that it's not a problem. This is not a theoretical situation. I looked at the logs from the Kali Linux daily builds, and for some builds it took 20 attempts, so it seems likely that for some builds it would have taken more attempts. I can submit a patch if needed, Thanks! [1]: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/simple-cdd/-/blob/master/tools/mirror/reprepro
