I can't test it currently but the apt methods http and https include code for generating a no-cache-header. The description is hidden in apt.conf (only a very short sentence, so you need to know what you search for) Snippet from apt.conf (in the Acquire-group, subsection http): [...] > Three settings are provided for cache control with HTTP/1.1 compliant > proxy caches. No-Cache tells the proxy to not use its cached response under > any circumstances, Max-Age is sent only for index files and tells the cache > to refresh its object if it is older than the given number of seconds. [...] The option you need to set in a config file therefore should be: Acquire::http::No-Cache "true"; // also the next one if you have https-archives Acquire::https::No-Cache "true"; But try also the Max-Age option as this would be a more friendly option. It would be great if you could test these options and report back (+ closing the bug) if it works (and of course also if not).
