Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

Ubuntu server 8.04 seems to download the package lists several times (it was two or three) during install. This is quite wasteful of bandwidth (and no, not everyone has plenty of it).

It really ought to be just reusing cached copies most of the time ...

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I'm certainly interested whether this has improved in 8.10; but since a developer (me) has already marked the problem as Confirmed, I'm setting it back to Confirmed since otherwise some bug triager is bound to come along and mark it Invalid at some point, and that would be irritating since this seems likely to be a real problem.
