Package: security.debian.org Severity: normal
Hi, I have just has a bug report for apt-cacher (#517874) which I have tracked down to the Last-Modified times on s.d.o. The file was http://localhost:3142/security.debian.org/dists/stable/updates/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 which was originally cached from stable (etch, Last-Modified: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 16:55:18 GMT). After lenny release this became oldstable, but last modified time for this same index file in the new stable (lenny) was Last-Modified: Sun, 08 Apr 2007 07:20:40 GMT so apt-cacher kept the more recent (but wrong!) one. I am not convinced there is a bug in apt-cacher here. Obviously, if the OP had been using named paths rather than stable, all would have been fine. Is there anyway to ensure that Last-Modified times don't go backwards when we upgrade distributions?
