Package: apt
For testing and development purposes, I have created an air-gapped
machine and use a local mirror on hard disk (created with debmirror) for
installation and updates. The mirror is a full mirror of the stretch,
stretch-updates and stretch-security archives.
That method used to work fine with jessie, but fails since I upgraded to
stretch. When I run apt-get update on the air-gapped machine, it always
complains about a missing InRelease file in the main stretch archive.
Indeed there is no InRelease on the official mirrors, only Release and
Release.gpg. The Debian FTP masters told me that this was "on purpose",
whatever that might be.
I thought that apt was supposed to try Release.gpg instead if InRelease
is missing, but it doesn't.
Turning on "Debug::Acquire::FTP=true" on the internet connected machine
using the official mirrors shows that it works there; but the air-gapped
machine doesn't even try to download Release.gpg but immediately fails.
I don't know if that has anything to do with the local mirror at all, or
if something got screwed during the update, however I have no idea where
to look.
Thanks,
Andreas
