Package: apt-cacher Version: 1.5.1 Severity: normal For at least several days I've been getting errors from aptitude and apt-get about missing packages files; unfortunately testing/main is one of them. apt doesn't seem to write the packages into its spots (/var/lib/apt/lists). testing/non-free is the other missing file; test/contrib is present.
I find the corresponding packages files in apt-cacher's cache. bzip2 verifies they are corrupt, and their lengths are shorter than the file in the original archive. I can download the latter via lftp; the result is full length and verifies OK. My efforts to trigger an update via aptitude update appear partly successful; the timestamps on the file in apt-cacher's cache change. But the file remains broken. Possibly this is related to running out of disk space, though it looks as if there should be enough. /var did fill up a few days ago, maybe around when this started. Possibly the problem is related to issues reported in 353152, and since fixed. Since my updates from main are not working, it's hard to upgrade (: Here's some more information that may be helpful: After apt-get dist-upgrade I get W: Couldn't stat source package list http://localhost testing/non-free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:3142_linux.csua.berkeley.edu_debian_dists_testing_non-free_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems True, the file isn't there. Also, testing_main_binary-i386_Packages isn't there. aptitude warns of both missing when it starts, and says W: You may want to update the package lists to correct the missing files. apt-cacher seems to have the necessary files under /packages/ When I do aptitude update I get 99% [13 Packages bzip2 12599296] [Waiting for headers] bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
