Package: apt-listbugs Version: 0.1.16 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, At times apt-listbugs doesn't download the bugs and errors out. For e.g. :-
[$] sudo aptitude install python-relatorio=0.6.1-3 -y The following packages will be upgraded: python-relatorio 1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/261 kB of archives. After unpacking 68.6 kB will be used. Retrieving bug reports... 0%^CInterrupted Fail Error retrieving bug reports from the server with the following error message: E: exit It could be because your network is down, or because of broken proxy servers, or the BTS server itself is down. Check network configuration and try again Retry downloading bug information? [Y/n] % [$] E: Input/output error @ io_fillbuf - fd:0 <STDIN> Now in the above scenario I waited for 2-3 minutes before interrupting the wait. The work-around so far entails running :- LANG=en_US.UTF-8 apt-listbugs list python-relatorio multiple times till one time I get :- [$] LANG=en_US.UTF-8 apt-listbugs list python-relatorio Retrieving bug reports... Done Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done After which it is able to access the bts and either download a bts bug number with bug headline or parse smoothly (I mean no bugs found) and installation happens. This started happened just few days back. It doesn't matter whether bandwidth is using elsewhere or not. Each time it happened, I also did ping bugs.debian.org and apart from couple of times, each time the server responded. I don't know if it's possible to rectify it as there are many network connections between my system and the bts and any one going down or not connecting would have the above state. Just reporting as E: Input/output error @ io_fillbuf - fd:0 <STDIN> this part is new, as in error never seen before. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable'), (1, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt-listbugs depends on: ii apt 1.1~exp8 ii ruby 1:2.1.5 ii ruby-debian 0.3.9 ii ruby-gettext 3.1.2-1 ii ruby-soap4r 2.0.5-3 ii ruby-unicode 0.4.4-2+b3 ii ruby-xmlparser 0.7.3-1 ii ruby2.1 [ruby-interpreter] 2.1.5-3 Versions of packages apt-listbugs recommends: ii ruby-httpclient 2.3.3-3.1 Versions of packages apt-listbugs suggests: ii chromium [www-browser] 43.0.2357.65-1~deb8u1 ii debianutils 4.5 ii dillo [www-browser] 3.0.4-2+b1 ii iceweasel [www-browser] 38.0.1-1 ii konqueror [www-browser] 4:15.04.0-1 ii links2 [www-browser] 2.8-2+b3 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.9dev6-3 ii midori [www-browser] 0.4.3+dfsg-0.2 ii netsurf [www-browser] 3.2+dfsg-2 ii netsurf-gtk [www-browser] 3.2+dfsg-2+b1 ii reportbug 6.6.3 ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-21 -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
