Does Debian have any kind of configuration option that
can make 'apt upgrade' try
harder to download all packages instead of all except one that for whatever mirror
failure reason fails, and halting the upgrade process because that one file didn't
download? It seems typical here that one package, any package, isn't found on the
trinity mirrors on the first pass, but on second invocation of apt upgrade, that
one package is fetched, and the entire apt upgrade continues to completion.
The latest case was just now, sb on Bullseye:
libkexiv2-3-trinity-14.0.8-0debian11.0.0+0~a_amd64.deb
This just happened with Mageia 7 with 2 packages, trinity-tdelibs & lib64avahi-tqt1,
the former going from 14.0.7 to 14.0.9, apparently having happened before but
ignored by me.
To recap, all other packages were fetched on first 'urpmi --auto-select', but the
two failed, and were successfully fetched simply by rerunning 'urpmi
--auto-select'.
