Package: apt-cacher-ng Version: 0.9.2-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Currently, apt-cacher-ng is stopped during `prerm` and started during `postinst`. For many daemons, downtime is acceptable since they are only used by the local system, but proxies are designed for use by *other* systems, so it would be much nicer if apt-cacher-ng would do *nothing* during `prerm` and do a *restart* during `postinst`, in `upgrade` mode. This will require carefully thinking about a lot of edge cases, but there can be a *long* time between the `prerm` and the `postinst` if there is more than a handful of packages being upgraded at once. (remember that `dpkg` must call `fsync` a bazillion times in order to not lose data, and `fsync` is extremely slow on modern filesystems) Partial Workaround: when you notice an upgrade to apt-cacher-ng is available, install *only* that first so it avoids all the time spent on other packages. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (600, 'testing-debug'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 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-cacher-ng depends on: ii adduser 3.114 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.59 ii dpkg 1.18.7 ii init-system-helpers 1.33 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8 ii libc6 2.22-9 ii libgcc1 1:6.1.1-3 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 ii libssl1.0.2 1.0.2h-1 ii libstdc++6 6.1.1-3 ii libsystemd0 229-6 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-25 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 apt-cacher-ng recommends no packages.
