Package: approx Version: 5.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
as a DD myself I run approx behind my DSL line to update my main host and the virtual environments. Sometimes updating the pbuilder environment fails with W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/localhost:9999_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages Hash Sum mismatch E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. This is caused by approx returning a newer Packages file then given in the corresponding InRelease file: $ HEAD http://{ftp.de.debian.org,localhost:9999}/debian/dists/sid/InRelease Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) DAV/2 Server: approx/5.1 Ocamlnet/3.3.5 Content-Length: 190134 Content-Length: 190134 Last-Modified: Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:22:41 GMT Last-Modified: Sun, 05 Feb 2012 02:22:38 GMT Here the local version of approx is older then on the Debian server. $ HEAD http://{ftp.de.debian.org,localhost:9999}/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) DAV/2 Server: approx/5.1 Ocamlnet/3.3.5 Content-Length: 7441825 Content-Length: 7441825 Content-Type: application/x-gzip Content-Type: text/plain Last-Modified: Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:03:52 GMT Last-Modified: Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:03:52 GMT But the Packages file is newer then the InRelease file, so the hash sums won't match. If would probably help if approx knows about the Release.pgp → InRelease → Packages* dependency and would use that knowledge to invalidate its cached version to force a re-fetch of the *Release* files. Currently I resolve this situation by deleting the *Release* files by hand each time it happens. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.4 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages approx depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu1 ii curl 7.24.0-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.41 ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libpcre3 8.12-4 ii openbsd-inetd [inet-superserver] 0.20091229-1 ii update-inetd 4.41 approx recommends no packages.
