Package: apt Version: 0.6.41 Severity: normal i have the following line in sources.list:
deb http://mail.incase.de/cyrus22/i386/ ./ when i run "apt-get update", apt reports this error: Failed to fetch http://mail.incase.de/cyrus22/i386/./Packages.gz Error reading from server. Remote end closed connection but since my apt works via proxy server, i was able to check what request was REALLY made by apt-get, and it appears that it really tried Packages.bz2 (which does not exist): 1126988484.000 170 xx.xx.xx.xx TCP_MISS/404 1238 GET http://mail.incase.de/cyrus22/i386/./Packages.bz2 - DIRECT/mail.incase.de text/html and there was NO attempt to request Packages.gz at all. So there are two bugs: 1) misleading error message - telling that request to Packages.gz failed (when in fact it was a request to Packages.bz2 which failed) 2) apt-get shall try to download Packages.gz when it does not find Packages.bz2 which it obviously does not. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -ne 10"; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; DPkg::Tools ""; DPkg::Tools::Options ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges::Version "2"; Acquire ""; Acquire::http ""; Acquire::http::Proxy "http://cache.vsu.ru:3128";; -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.2-vvv Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-7 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.0.1-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
