Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
Severity: wishlist
If a package is read from a DVD by aptitude and an error occurs such as hash
sum mismatch, instead of simply failing the install, allow the option to read
the same package from an online repository. As things stand, an awkward
workaround exists to remove reference to the flawed DVD from /etc/apt/apt.conf
but why shouldn't aptitude be able to look elsewhere automatically? The DVD may
still be usable for other packages.
