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 |
| 10 |
of the actions; something like: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
- for packages with fetch restrictions, try local mirrors only |
| 13 |
(for packages without the restriction, try local mirrors first, then |
| 14 |
official mirrors -> as it is now) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
- if a file cannot be fetched and restriction flag is turned on, print |
| 17 |
message 'xyz has fetch restriction turned on ... bla bla ...' rather |
| 18 |
then complain about no mirrors available or downloadable problems |
| 19 |
(if the restriction flag is not turned on, print the current message) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
what do you think ? |
