--- Begin Message ---Package: apt Version: 1.0.1ubuntu2.10 Severity: important * What led up to the situation? When the Release file is missing the 'Date' field, in the new 'apt' version (1.1.x), the client fails with "Invalid 'Date' entry in Release file". This brakes backward competability since currently the 'Date' field is documented as optional: https://wiki.debian.org/RepositoryFormat#A.22Release.22_files "These optional fields are purely functional and used mostly internally by packaging tools. Date Valid-Until MD5Sum, SHA1, SHA256 NotAutomatic and ButAutomaticUpgrades " * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? running "apt-get update" with "https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian"; resulted in: W: Failed to fetch https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian/Release Voce "Date" nel file Release /var/lib/apt/lists/dl.bintray.com_sbt_debian_Release non valida The expectation is that this will not fail since, as mentioned above, the 'Date' field is documented as 'Optional' -- Package-specific info: -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers trusty-updates APT policy: (500, 'trusty-updates'), (500, 'trusty-security'), (500, 'trusty'), (100, 'trusty-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13.0-74-generic (SMP w/4 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 apt depends on: ii gnupg 1.4.16-1ubuntu2.3 ii libapt-pkg4.12 1.0.1ubuntu2.10 ii libc6 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.1-0ubuntu1 ii libstdc++6 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04 ii ubuntu-keyring 2012.05.19 apt recommends no packages.
