Package: apt-proxy Version: 1.9.36.3+nmu1 Severity: normal Hi,
After installing apt-proxy and configuring it in several client's sources.list, I noticed (by the speed the packages downloaded) that the proxy was re-downloading several packages all the times. After checking the logs I saw this kind of entry for those packages: 2008/08/07 14:30 CEST [-] [verify] cache file verification FAILED for /var/cache/apt-proxy/XXXX.deb: dpkg failed So I turned verbosity to its maximum and found that dpkg was run with '--fsys-tarfile', and running that on my system failed with: $/usr/bin/dpkg --fsys-tarfile /var/cache/apt-proxy/XXXX.deb > /dev/null dpkg-deb (subprocess): data: failed to exec lzma -dc: No such file or directory dpkg-deb: subprocess <decompress> returned error exit status 2 dpkg Suggests lzma, but without it apt-proxy will fail to verify the cached packages and will keep downloading them for each petition. Please, add a Depends on lzma (since that (dpkg) functionality is required by apt-proxy, or at least add some comment in the docs to it.
