[Bug 1043853] Re: Apt ignored few packages on executing 'sudo apt-get update'

[David Kalnischkies]

For the record: "Ign" really states for "Ignore", the mentioned file
couldn't be downloaded, but APT used an alternative to satisfy its
needs, so it ignores the failure (Ubuntu doesn't support InRelease yet,
just plans to do it while Debian has it for some branches already, so
APT uses the "old" files Release and Release.gpg instead if InRelease
isn't available).

If a file wasn't modified it says "Hit", if it downloaded "Get" is in
front and if a file couldn't be downloaded and nothing can be done about
that "Err" which stands for "Error" and is accompanied by an error
message and a non-zero exit-code.


Closed as the bugreporter confirmed that this is not a bug but a misunderstanding.
