In 0.7.16+b1 the problem still seems to be there. I can't see anything in the version 0.7.16 changelog that would show that the problem has been removed. Using WWWOFFLE with the option "reply-chunked-data = yes" as a proxy for apt (you can reproduce the bug yourself this way) I got the following contents of the file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.debian.org_dists_lenny_updates_Release.gpg: -------------------- Release.gpg -------------------- bd^M -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBJIySipw2vU2Bw06ERAlyiAJ9U/XJcFnoS7ljy9E4yroB6td0+JgCfZOnq Dupc2VvefbhnKLAo4Td/O/s= =L6bw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ^M 0^M ^M -------------------- Release.gpg -------------------- The length of the good data is 189 bytes (0xbd in hex) and the file looks just like it would be for un-decoded chunked encoding. This can be proven to be the raw file that the proxy sends back by using netcat (grabbed from xterm so ^M not visible): -------------------- netcat -------------------- # netcat localhost 8080 GET http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release.gpg HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:33:08 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 Last-Modified: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:25:06 GMT ETag: "803b2-bd-7db8ec80" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Type: text/plain Connection: close Proxy-Connection: close Transfer-Encoding: chunked bd -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBJIySipw2vU2Bw06ERAlyiAJ9U/XJcFnoS7ljy9E4yroB6td0+JgCfZOnq Dupc2VvefbhnKLAo4Td/O/s= =L6bw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- 0 -------------------- netcat -------------------- As one of the other messages attached to this bug report points out the problem is timing sensitive. When I ran "apt-get update" on the machine with the proxy it failed once, I deleted the contents of the directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial and it worked after that. When I ran it on another machine the problem showed up as repeated fetching of the same files which eventually were OK, but other files then had the same problem. There were so many problems that I had to turn off the chunked encoding option. This section of the "apt-get update" output shows the repeated fetching of the same file. -------------------- apt-get update -------------------- ...
