Comment 26 for bug 24234

Thanks for confirming the fix.

The "brief timeframe" refered to the timeframe in which you had to run "apt-get update (synaptic reload)" to catch the problem. People not updating in this timeframe where not affected at all.

But I agree of course that problems like this are very bad. We added code in dappers apt to cope better with the situation and organize the servers in a way that prevents it mostely. So thanks for reporting this issue!

Cheers,
