Approx 4.1-1 and earlier worked fine with unsigned repositores.

Approx 4.2-1 - when used with e.g. http://debian.jones.dk/ - stalls and emits the following to syslog:

Nethttpd: Uncaught exception: Control_file.Missing(_, "md5sum")

Indeed that file is missing, but I believe the proxy should gracefully handle that as it have done in the past.

This exception was added to give better information on why approx-gc would occasionally fail (on malformed Packages or Sources files), but I guess it broke something else.

Can you point me at the index file that approx is failing on (and that used to work OK)? Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.

First of all: Thanks for a swift reply - that is really appreciated!

I do not understand what you mean by "index file", but here's some more syslog details when enabling DEBUG:

Mar  8 14:17:17 auryn approx: Connection from 127.0.0.1 port 43597
Mar  8 14:17:17 auryn approx: Request:

Mar  8 14:17:17 auryn approx:   Host: localhost:9999
Mar  8 14:17:17 auryn approx:   Connection: keep-alive
Mar  8 14:17:17 auryn approx:   User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (0.7.25.3)
Mar  8 14:17:17 auryn approx: Nethttpd: Uncaught exception: Control_file.Missing(_, 
"md5sum")


Here is an APT example:

 deb http://debian.jones.dk/ lenny voip


I have not verified if that particular example fails, but none of the repositories at debian.jones.dk are signed (yet - I use custom written routines to generate them so and have not yet gotten around to add that extra signing piece to those routines), so I assume it will.


Ping!
