So we already download the latest Packages file each time? Thomas, aren't we already doing what you want? # If the Packages gets updated after the packages. # The downloaded Packages file can list packages that have been replaced by newer # versions, the old ones ceasing to be available # Then a reload (after the Packages file has been adjusted) helps.
