Package: mirrors Severity: normal mirror.peer1.net sometimes returns cached files that don't mesh with the rest of the archive. For example, here's part of an apt-get run:
GET /debian/dists/sid/Release HTTP/1.1 Host: mirror.peer1.net Connection: keep-alive If-Modified-Since: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 03:26:20 GMT User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (0.7.25.3) HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified Server: nginx/0.7.64 Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 17:12:46 GMT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Connection: keep-alive Last-Modified: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 03:26:20 GMT ETag: "65cc01f-19535-76898f00" Age: 40161 X-Cache: HIT from tor-ch-10.cdn.peer1.net X-Cache-Lookup: HIT from tor-ch-10.cdn.peer1.net:81 Via: 1.0 tor-ch-10.cdn.peer1.net:81 (squid) But fetching Release manually returns a much newer file: Origin: Debian Label: Debian Suite: unstable Codename: sid Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 03:07:23 UTC [...] The contents of the archive matches this new version, and apt-get obviously complains when the various files don't correspond to their previous checksum. I've seen this happen occasionally for a long time, but I just lazily gave up and switched to http.us.debian.org, instead of doing the right thing and filing this report. (Sorry!) See also #539995 for what is probably another instance of this. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29.6 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
