are you sure that it would make the code even more complicated ?
i've read the function and it seems to be more or less just a reordering
of the actions; something like:
- for packages with fetch restrictions, try local mirrors only
(for packages without the restriction, try local mirrors first, then
official mirrors -> as it is now)
- if a file cannot be fetched and restriction flag is turned on, print
message 'xyz has fetch restriction turned on ... bla bla ...' rather
then complain about no mirrors available or downloadable problems
(if the restriction flag is not turned on, print the current message)
what do you think ?
