Description Dirk Wiesenthal

The 4.1 App Center makes a good Job working offline. But it still needs to query online categories.ini to translate the categories. We need to download it and use it. Overwrite it on

univention-app update

This Bug should be used to also verify that the App Center can work offline.

This is useful in postinst and UCR Templates.

categories.ini is already cached locally in /var/cache/univention-appcenter/.categories.ini.

Just fixed _download_supra_files to not overwrite the local .categories.ini if appcenter server is not reachable.

And moved self._extract_local_archive before self._download_supra_files (first process local archive then try to update from server).
