Package: approx Version: 2.8.0 Severity: normal
Well, approx is a perfect tool for doing repeated d-i test installs, and used to save me lot of time. But since a few days, this has broken, and this seems to be due to the archive no more providing the Packages file, but only the Packages.gz and Packages.bz2 one. For some obscure reason d-i asks Packages and approx refuses it. When going to the archive directly this does not happen. Maybe a solution, would be for approx to always get Packages.gz or Packages.bz2, and to unpack it before providing Packages to the client ? This would further lower bandwidth.
