I was able to get apt-get changelog to work. My test case is
apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=yes -o
Apt::Changelogs::Server=http://www.cristau.org/blah changelog tor
with a
RewriteRule ^/blah/(.*) https://packages.debian.org/changelogs/$1 [L]
in my apache config (the forceipv4 is needed due to unrelated breakage
at the hosting provider).
I still get a message like this, though:
W: Size of file /tmp/apt-changelog-TfnbZ1changelog is not what the server
reported 77136 338
I guess something's keeping the size from one of the redirects instead
of the 200.
I couldn't get aptitude changelog to obey Apt::Changelogs::Server for
some reason, so I don't know if that's enough to fix it.
Cheers,
Julien
