Package: approx Version: 1.18 Severity: normal
I'm running a backport of approx 1.18 on a sarge server. It works fine serving about 30 client machines. Many of the clients are running apticron, which installs /etc/cron.daily/apticron. The clients are also mostly ntp-synced. This means that each morning around 06:27, a bunch of clients simultaneously do "apt-get update". Each day, many of them fail and generate emails like this: /etc/cron.daily/apticron: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Failed to fetch http://approx-host:9999/security/dists/stable/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://approx-host stable/updates/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/approx-host:9999_security_dists_stable_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://approx-host stable/updates/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/approx-host:9999_security_dists_stable_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/apticron exited with return code 100 even the server itself, using approx via localhost:9999 sees these failures. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.2 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages approx depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.2-7 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcurl3 7.13.2-2 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libidn11 0.5.13-1.0 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libpcre3 4.5-1.2sarge1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-3 SSL shared libraries ii wget 1.9.1-12 retrieves files from the web ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.2 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
