It does sound like a good idea, but the reasoning behind the last statement is incorrect. The fact that the package is small doesn't imply that it is a dependancy rather than a dependant, plugins will be smaller the main package more often than not, but it actually is useless to download them if you cannot get the large dependancy.
Also i thought that apt-get resumes on partially downloaded files, or am i incorrect? -- apt should download small packages first https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209681 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
