Wanted to delete. No delete option? Guess it is more of a inconvenience
then a bug.
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** Description changed:
- apt-get doesn't validate servers, and/or has far to long timeout.
- Should seriously do some logic if server, index or other core files is
unreachable.
-
- E.g.:
-
- 1~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-common
- 2Reading package lists...
- 3Building dependency tree...
- 4Reading state information...
- 5The following extra packages will be installed:
- 6 autopoint
- 7The following NEW packages will be installed:
- 8 autopoint gnome-common
- 90 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
- 10Need to get 621 kB of archives.
- 11After this operation, 883 kB of additional disk space will be
used.
- 12Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
- 13WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
- 14 autopoint gnome-common
- 15Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y
- 16 ^CExit code: 130
-
- Warning of line 13 is presumably because auth. can't be downloaded.
- Going to line 16 - here it hangs "forever".
-
- As there obviously is other mirrors - these are two bad and confusing
- faults.
-
- 1$ apt-get source gnome-terminal
- 2Reading package lists... Done
- 3Building dependency tree
- 4Reading state information... Done
- 5NOTICE: 'gnome-terminal' packaging is maintained in the 'Bzr'
version control system at:

- 7Please use:
- 8bzr branch
http://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-terminal/ubuntu
- 9to retrieve the latest (possibly unreleased) updates to the
package.
- 10Need to get 1,893 kB of source archives.

- Hangs on line 11, if you are lucky it enters line 13. Here is a complete
- halt.
-
- And: why does it say "Please use: bzr branch http://code.launchpad.net
- /~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-terminal/ubuntu" when it is a git repo at
- git://git.gnome.org/gnome-terminal?
-
- Further (not a bug per se, but still) - Why does it say
- "no.archive.ubuntu.com" when it is a Swedish server at the university of
- UmeƄ?
