Actually the class apt_pkg.AcquireItem does not have an attribute named STAT_FAILED, but it has STAT_ERROR
This is definitely an error

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

which can easily be fixed by changing the line 119
elif item.owner.status == apt_pkg.AcquireItem.STAT_FAILED:
to
elif item.owner.status == apt_pkg.AcquireItem.STAT_ERROR:

@mvo: some update on the upstream resolution of this bug with this trivial fix?

[Sebastian Heinlein (glatzor)]

Fixed in rev 403 some time ago.

[Nicolas DERIVE (kalon33)]

@glatzor: Is it released in maverick ? If it is, it should not correctly fix it because I got this today again.

I also received this today - I had network connection, but my upstream router was pointing everything to an error page (including DNS resolves) - I'm guessing this was a symptom of the fault, but given the fix described before, it was not the fault itself.
