Hi, Other "Failed to fetch" errors are not displayed either, like entries not found in the Release file. For example, error from apt-get update:
*** W: Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org/dists/sid/Release Unable to find expected entry 'contrib/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. *** (That error is because debian-multimedia.org only has main and non-free, but no contrib. The user needs to adjust sources.list to fix this.) In contrast, aptitude update doesn't show the error and only exits with return code 255. Worse, the update is ignored and thus new packages not visible/old packages marked as obsolete, leaving the user unaware of the actual problem.
