Package: approx Version: 4.0-1 Severity: important I feel like I must be doing something wrong, but I cannot for the life of me imagine what it is. Basically, despite the udebs I want being in the cache, and the cache finding the file, it's deciding to download the file again anyway. As an example, I tried to download the net-retriever udeb. The logs show:

But wait: $ sudo ls -l /var/cache/approx/debian/pool/main/n/net-retriever/net-retriever_1.23_all.udeb -rw-r--r-- 1 approx approx 15100 2008-09-22 08:32 /var/cache/approx/debian/pool/main/n/net-retriever/net-retriever_1.23_all.udeb Oh, so approx must be looking somewhere else. But it isn't! It's finding the file and stating it a bunch of times: strumpet:~$ sudo strace -f -e trace=stat,chdir -p 3548 [...] [pid 15553] chdir("/var/cache/approx") = 0 [...] [pid 15553] stat("debian/pool/main/n/net-retriever/download-installer_1.23_all.udeb", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2878, ...}) = 0 [pid 15553] stat("debian/pool/main/n/net-retriever/download-installer_1.23_all.udeb", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2878, ...}) = 0 [pid 15553] stat("debian/pool/main/n/net-retriever/download-installer_1.23_all.udeb.hint", 0x7fff2996d2b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 15553] stat("debian/pool/main/n/net-retriever/download-installer_1.23_all.udeb", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2878, ...}) = 0 (pid 3548 happens to be my inetd, in case you're wondering) Oh, perhaps the udeb is corrupt or something, and approx is being super-cool and re-downloading it for me (although I'd expect it to replace the bad one, in that case, but that's beside the point). Oh no, it's fine: strumpet:~$ sudo md5sum download-installer_1.23_all.udeb /var/cache/approx/debian/pool/main/n/net-retriever/download-installer_1.23_all.udeb 02571e9bba28a4f08f53884a4850ffcf download-installer_1.23_all.udeb 02571e9bba28a4f08f53884a4850ffcf /var/cache/approx/debian/pool/main/n/net-retriever/download-installer_1.23_all.udeb Besides, this is happening for every deb and udeb I download, not just this one... So, I'm out of options here -- as far as I can tell, approx is finding the files in the cache and then just blatantly ignoring them in favour of chewing up my data allowance. I'm happy to be told I'm "doin' it rong", but it's a pretty stock approx setup (I don't even know what knobs are available to tweak). Packages files and debs are cached and served fine, but these udebs... not a flicker. Now that I think about it, I wonder if this bug has the same root cause as #524960, which I also tested using a udeb... -- 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".
