Hello Eduard,
I ported version 3.7.5-1 to Bookworm and also have problems with this
version without this patch.
There are currently more than 750 Debian hosts in my environment that
download their packages via apt-get from 38 apt-cacher-ng hosts.
If all hosts run an apt-get update at the same time (cron job), the logs
are full of the following Messages (generated by apt-get):
W: Tried to start delayed item http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm
InRelease, but failed
W: Tried to start delayed item http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm
InRelease, but failed
W: Tried to start delayed item http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm
InRelease, but failed
W: Tried to start delayed item http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm
InRelease, but failed
.
.
.
Most of the time, the download of the InRelease files does not work and
apt-get terminates with an error. However, I have also sporadically
observed problems downloading packages when the download was started
from multiple client hosts at the same time.
If I apply this patch to version 3.7.5-1 and install the newly built
package on the 38 apt-chacher-ng hosts, I no longer see any problems.
Therefore, in my opinion, this patch (or a similar solution) should be
included in the upstream version (and in Trixie).
Can you please take a look at this issue/patch?
Is there anything I can do to help with this? I can test and develop in
C/C++ and would really like to help make apt-cacher-ng more stable.
Best Regards,
Arndt
