No, as apparently nobody is interested in implementing it. But feel free to find someone who is interested. apt-transport-debtorrent shows that out-of-tree methods can be done, you just need someone to do it… And we are not the U.N. as Julian already said, we are three people working on APT. The U

I don't know what "reopen" means here, but if it uses pkgCacheFile it should throw away the entry instance and create a new one. pkgCache, depCache and all the others are using IDs to reference packages/versions/descriptions/whatever which are not stable between binary cache regenerations.

And i don't know what APT should make different here. I mean, we can't read the file, so we can't know all sources, so the Cache will be incomplete, so the solution will be incomplete - if we found any. But most likely we will "just" miss important security updates or alike. So, if we have such a
