Can you please confirm if this still happens, and provide an example
(repositories and results)?  I am not quite sure about what you mean.

To hazard a guess, it looks to me that upon seeing a problem with the
repositories, by policy (lib)apt decides that this is the best way to
proceed (fail loudly), so the user notices the problem and takes some
action if desired, rather than potentially go unnoticed for a long time.


Cheers.
