Package: apt-cacher Version: 1.6.1 Severity: minor Hello:
When apt-cacher by some mean stores in its package cache (/var/cache/apt-cacher/packages/) a partially downloaded package or invalid (0 bytes length) it's unable to understand this situation and makes the application requesting the package to stall for a considerable amount of time (e.g.: several minutes), failing eventually to serve that package. IMHO, apt-cacher should recognise the invalidity of the local cached file and try to download the package again from the mirror assigned. I'm tagging this as minor becuase there's a simple workaround that solves the issue temporarily: running /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-cleanup.pl This works till the same situation appears again. If you need further information, please contact me.
