Package: apt-cacher Version: 0.8.5 For two days running, the daily run of apt-cacher-cleanup.pl has output the following warning messages:
/etc/cron.daily/apt-cacher: Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-cleanup.pl line 85. Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-cleanup.pl line 86. Use of uninitialized value in split at /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-cleanup.pl line 87. It's probably not a coincidence that I've added files in /etc/cron.d on two machines to download package lists and new versions of installed packages at certain times and on certain days. I suspect that at least one of these fetches was running when the cleanup scrip was run - looking at the code, it would appear that a lists fetch was in progress. I think that wrapping those three lines in an if block which checks whether $barelist is defined is sufficient to at least treat the symptoms if not necessarily the cause, which I suspect is decompression failure due to an incompletely-downloaded file. (This report references 0.8.5 since that's what's installed. If I'm right about the cause, then it looks like it'll still happen in 0.8.6.) -- | Darren Salt | nr.
