Actually, I am much more in favor of the brilliant suggestion made by Giovanni Rapagnani in another reply: | another way of periodically updating the lists of packages is | to add this line in a file under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ e.g. | /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic: | | APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; I already had the funny feeling I was missing some already existing mechanism to solve the problem! (Emninger and I already discussed this topic off-list.)
