Summary: Couldn't locate an archive source for a package
Status: Require Status file.
-#26670: apt: apt-get dumps core after checking integrity
- Summary: Some terminal environments cause APT to crash
- Win95 telnet and emacs term-in-a-buffer are two at least
- Status: I have no idea why.
-#24685: HTTP Proxy cache refresh
- Summary: Some caches hold onto the package index file for too long
- Status: It may be possible to insert the proper header to disable
- caching but I can't think how to do this while allowing
- the cache to return cached objects - in effect it would
- completely disable the cache which may not be desired.
#24717: apt dies early if one postinst/preinst dies
Status: Requires dpkg modifications
-#25001: apt: cleaned out archive even though not all files were installed
- Status: Apparently in some cases APT can return a success code even
- though it failed. I'm paying very close attention to this in
- 0.3.x. Not to mention that the clean behavior will be
- configurable..
-#22892: Apt improvements
-#28184: apt could be smarted regarding mirrors
- Summary: Make use of redundant sources
- Status: 0.3.0 will likely do this, already the information for it is stored.
-#24799: Some suggestions for the apt method in dselect
- Summary: Wants to be able to specifiy -d from dselect
- Status: Likely a APT_OPTIONS enviornment variable will be created, -d can
- be put there.
- There is already an APT_CONFIG in 0.3, APT_OPTIONS may also
- appear..
#25104: APT should retry failed downloads
Summary: FTP method has problems with busy servers

to control this desired behavoir.
-#28373: apt package is missing information on ftp.conf
-#29293: apt: Docs reference apt(8) but apt(8) not provided.
- Summary: The man pages have references to several non-existent items,
- ftp.conf is only one of them.
- Status: Fix the man pages. This certainly will be done in 0.3.0
-#28391: apt-get install without upgrading
- Summary: Make install leave the package in the keep state if it is already
- installed
- Status: Will be implemented in 0.3.0

#25026: apt: Why do you list the packages you're _not_ doing anything to instead of the ones you are?
#22507: apt: apt-get - listing packages to be upgraded (wishlist)
Summary: APT does not provide a way to download packages onto a
removable media for another computer
Status: 0.3.0 has substantially better support for this to the point
- that it is doable by using a seperate configuration file and
+ that it is doable by using a separate configuration file and
the -c option
