Hi, Often i get a "Connection failed" message when trying to update my packages. This happens with apt-get and aptitude. Last time i did this, aptitude tried to download several packages and because of failed connections (and thus failing to ddwnload certain packages) it only installed a few packages thus leaving some that where depending on other packages not downloaded in a broken state.
Is there a way to make sure aptitude first tries to download all packages and only updates if ALL packages are succesfully download? I think my sources list is broken somehow so i've included it. It always seem to be the same lines that fail: Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages Connection failed Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Packages Connection failed Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages Connection failed Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/Sources Connection failed Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/source/Sources Connection failed Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/source/Sources Connection failed Thanks, Benedict ======================= sources list =========================== # Mirror 1.
