Package: approx Version: 4.4-1 ----- Forwarded message from Matteo Frigo <ath...@fftw.org> -----
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 22:02:31 -0400 From: Matteo Frigo <ath...@fftw.org> To: Eric Cooper <e...@cmu.edu> Subject: Should approx used gzip --rsyncable? I am running into a weird situation. Somehow approx-update stopped working for me, in the sense that my Packages.gz is not updated, and I think I traced the problem to the following issue. After applying a pdiff, approx compresses Packages using gzip -9; however it looks like the Release file contains the size of a file compressed using gzip -9 --rsyncable. After compression, the size of the file no longer matches the size mentioned in Release. One consequence of this behavior is that debootstrap states that Packages.gz is corrupt, because the size does not match. This failure is 100% reproducible, and removing the cached Packages.gz file seems to be the only workaround. I am trying to understand whether subsequent pdiffs also fail for the same reason. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
