[Bug 106127] Re: Wish: Clarify apt-get error message(s)

[Julian Andres Klode]

These days we mostly fetch based on what the InRelease file tells us, so
this message is seen less. In any case, it's not an error, otherwise it
would tell you, it's just progress logging.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

Title:
  Wish: Clarify apt-get error message(s)

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  apt-get update sometimes gives rows with "Ign":
  Läs:1 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com feisty Release.gpg [191B]
  Ign http://se.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Translation-sv_SE
  ...

  It seems that missing files (404-errors) in a repo are reported as
  "Ign". People ask on local forums "Ign? Is apt ignoring repos, and
  why?" - receiving many suggestions but no answers. A "not found" error
  should show as not found/not there. If it surely should've been there,
  "missing" becomes appropriate.
