Bug Description

During a fresh install of the AMD64 variety of Dapper Drake Flight 3, the install process was downloading some files. It said, "Downloading file xx of 855 (0s remaining). The problem was that it did not give an actual time remaining, it was always just "0s". Very minor problem, as the download and install itself proceeded without any other apparent issues.

Saw this too.
I think this has something to do with the fact that the packages are loaded from the CD instead of the network.

Thanks for your bugreport.

The latest upload of apt (0.6.43.3ubuntu1) fixes this problem. It will not report a time unless it's > 0 and less than two days in the future.

Cheers,
 Michael
