package apticron tags 456341 + pending Hi David,
The randomization was set to not DOS Debian servers, avoiding that all apticron users connected to them at the same time. I didn't understand your point of increasing the RANGE variable, so I can't help you with that. But anyway, this feature was changed at apticron version 1.1.21 solving #440626 and I hope your problem was solved as well. This version is pending for upload now and will be available in the next few days. If it doesn't solve your problem, I'd suggest you to change the time of the day apticron is executed in your system so that it doesn't occur during the period of time that the mirror is synchronizing. You can do that editing cron.d apticron file. Thanks, -- Tássia Camões Araújo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
