Package: fai-client
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

When a non-existing package is in the list of packages passed to
install_packages apt-get responds with the following error message.

E: Unable to locate package ...

This in turn fails the installation of all the packages in the list.

I know this is the default behavior of apt-get but I would like to
request an option for install_packages to ignore non-existing packages
and retry the installation again with the same list but without the
non-existing package(s).

If such an option won't be implemented then an option to isolate a list
of packages to be installed could also work. Then a user could define a
list of packages that they would be ok with not being installed due to
reasons such as them being non-existing.
