Package: approx Version: 4.0-1 Severity: normal I've just discovered that approx does not gracefully handle HEAD requests, as used by d-i (via the wget --spider command). This makes it rather tricky to use an approx cache to back d-i development.
Testing: identify a file that exists in the cache, attempt to retrieve it with wget -O /dev/null --spider <cache URL>; you should get a 200 response, and wget should print "Remote file exists" and give a return code of 0; what actually happens at the moment is that 403 is returned, wget says "Remote file does not exist -- broken link!!!" and returns 1. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages approx depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii bzip2 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii curl 7.18.2-8lenny2 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpcre3 7.8-2 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii openbsd-inetd [inet-super 0.20080125-2 The OpenBSD Internet Superserver ii update-inetd 4.31 inetd configuration file updater approx recommends no packages. approx suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
