[Bug 496851] [NEW] Nondeterministic package list

 

Public bug reported:

Some packages (e.g. skype) don't show up even after repeated "apt-get
update"s.  To investigate this I tried to look at the package list for
Karmic in a web-browser.  Repeatedly pressing reload in my browser non-
deterministically gives me one of the following lists:

I was trying to install skype.  Manually adding details for skype-common
and skype-static to /var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu
.org_dists_karmic_non-free_binary-i386_Packages worked as a band-aid.

(Sorry, can't use ubuntu-bug since this doesn't seem to be package-
related.)
