Package: approx Version: 4.5-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
approx is failing to cache the mirror correctly. i routinely end up with apt-get update from approx resulting in: W: Failed to fetch http://127.0.0.1:9999/debian/dists/squeeze/main/binary-i386/PackagesIndex MD5Sum mismatch W: Failed to fetch http://127.0.0.1:9999/debian/dists/experimental/main/source/SourcesIndex MD5Sum mismatch W: Failed to fetch http://127.0.0.1:9999/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Hash Sum mismatch W: Failed to fetch http://127.0.0.1:9999/debian/dists/sid/main/source/Sources.gz Hash Sum mismatch E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. with both approx entries and direct entries to the exact same mirrors configured in apt's sources.list, at least one of my approx entries results in a "Hash Sum mismatch" on nearly every apt-get update, while the directly configured entries work without problems. it's not always the same entries... sometimes sid, sometimes squeeze, sometimes experimental, but nearly always at least one of them fails. two subsequent runs often end up with different results. sometimes, manually removing the /var/cache/approx/debian*/dists/ directories or specific Packages*/Release* files fixes it for a day or so, but it doesn't take long for it to consistantly fail again. i've been a largely happy long-time user of approx, and have encountered infrequent occasional glitches like this before, but this problem seems to have gotten increasingly worse since upgrading to squeeze a few months ago. live well, vagrant -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (102, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages approx depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii bzip2 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii curl 7.21.0-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpcre3 8.02-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii openbsd-inetd [inet-superse 0.20080125-6 The OpenBSD Internet Superserver ii update-inetd 4.38 inetd configuration file updater approx recommends no packages.
