What's not logical is that package management first tries to refresh (from) such an offline repository. Even if you manually select not to refresh that repository, and mnaually say to skip that repository, software management is unable to install software. for example, when using totem to view a ".m2t" file, additional packages are needed. That installation (via "apper") however fails for the reasons explained above. Unless the application is restarted, installation is not re-tried. Manual work-around is to temporarily disable the USB-stick repository, then restart the application. Software management should be smart enough to skip unreachable repositories. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure some repository on a USB stick. Unplug that stick afterwards. 2. Use some application that needs additional software packages Actual Results: Additional packages cannot be installed, even if the required repositories are online. Expected Results: Additional packages from unaffected repositories should be installed.
