Subject: approx: Approx fails to load new versions of DEP-11 icon tarballs
Bcc: Phil Armstrong <p...@kantaka.co.uk>
X-Reportbug-Version: 6.6.3

Package: approx
Version: 5.5-1
Severity: important

Approx breaks with the DEP-11 icon tarballs that have recently been
introduced to the stretch archives. Even though the hash in the
InRelease file changes, approx is not downloading the changed file and
is delivering the previous version to clients which then fail their
entire apt update because of this hash sum mismatch. This means that
as long as this bug exists, it’s impossible to update a stretch Debian
system at all using an approx caching proxy, because no apt update can
succeed whilst a hash sum mismatch in one of the downloaded files
exists for a given release.

A short term workaround is to log in to the server & delete the icon
tarballs when a hash sum mismatch is detected.

Thanks for all your work on approx.

Phil
