Public bug reported: After upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04 apt-cacher-ng started to behave erratically.
Trying to do `apt update` would randomly throw errors such as: Err:20 https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease Reading from proxy failed - select (115: Operation now in progress) [IP: 192.168.1.13 4687] But before the error appears, the connection would stay frozen for a minute or so. But please note that it is NOT related to HTTPS protocol, and this would be *random*. Trying to execute the command again could succeed for this website but fail for another, regardless of http/https protocol. Sometimes 6 URLs would fail, other times it would be only 1 or 2. But that's not the only broken thing. Going to the web interface (via http://192.168.1.13:4687/acng- report.html) I could go to the maintenance sections and I would see the same errors: - The cleanup section would stall forever - The cleanup section would throw random "500 internal error, SELECT returned bad file descriptor. Aborting" Purging the package and installing again did not fix it. The only solution was to install version 3.6.4-1_amd from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher- ng_3.6.4-1_amd64.deb which works with Ubuntu 20.04. That fixed all the problems.
