I've written up a first draft of a solution to this. In brief, when a download fails: First check whether there's an Internet connection, and complain about that if necessary. Second, try downloading the package list again, and if

right. There are several software stacks involved: software-center -> dbus -> aptd -> python-apt -> libapt -> libcurl We only get a possible translated error message from libcurl. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https:

[Bug 451366] Re: 404 from the archive is not handled well

We cannot reduce this to a 404 error - since we don't know what happened. The download just fails. Kind of a black box. The next question is if we should do this inside of the transaction or create a new update-cache transaction and requeue the current one. -- You received this bug notification

[Bug 451366] Re: 404 from the archive is not handled well

I like Michael's third suggestion: if we get a 404, automatically reload the list and try again. If we fail a second time, then show a nice error message. What should the message say? "Check your Internet connection" doesn't seem appropriate for a 404. Maybe "Try again in a few hours"? -- You re

[Bug 451366] Re: 404 from the archive is not handled well

Should we check if the cache has been updated in the last 24 hours? If this is the case we could show an alternative error message suggesting to re-updating the list. But we could also perfrom an update-cache operation automatically by aptdaemon. ** Changed in: aptdaemon Status: Confirmed =

[Bug 451366] Re: 404 from the archive is not handled well

The error message comes from the curl library. aptdaemon only gets the error string from python-apt. we would have to parse the string and guess. so we only know that there was an error fetching a package file. But we could enhance the error dialog to show a button to run a update- cache transacti
