We've found that apt doesn't deal with the following two cases: * If a file is corrupted, it does not attempt to re-fetch it (and doesn't report the failure until the current install run is done). * If a connection hangs, it does not time out and retry. There is Acquire::Retries (see the apt.conf manpage), but I don't think it addresses these two cases; I assume we'll have to get upstream apt and anna patched to deal better." defect new normal Upstream Utopia --
