Package: apt Version: 0.8.10.3+squeeze1 Severity: normal
We're using an internal mirror which is updated at a defined interval for consistency. The 'Release' files from security.debian.org set a quite short timeout in their Vaild-Until: header (10 days). If we're trying to update an internal system from this mirror a few days later (apt-get update), it complains about the 'Release' file being expired and ignores it by default. So we've set the apt.conf option "Acquire::Max-ValidTime" to "1209600" (see apt-config output below). While this works on i686 systems, it is ignored on amd64 systems, even though apt-config shows it. We've worked around this bug for now by also setting "Acquire::Check-Valid-Until" to "false" on our amd64 systems (this option is not ignored), but this isn't a real solution. I already tried setting it as APT::Acquire::Max-ValidTime "1209600" - but that version is ignored on both i686 and amd64. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Acquire ""; APT::Acquire::Translation "environment"; APT::Authentication ""; APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-restricted-modules.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-ubuntu-modules-.*"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::mirrors "mirrors/"; Dir::State::extended_states "extended_states"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::netrc "auth.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Etc::preferencesparts "preferences.d"; Dir::Etc::trusted "trusted.gpg"; Dir::Etc::trustedparts "trusted.gpg.d"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; Dir::Media ""; Dir::Media::MountPath "/media/apt"; Dir::Log "var/log/apt"; Dir::Log::Terminal "term.log"; Dir::Log::History "history.log"; Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently ""; Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently:: "~$"; Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently:: "\.disabled$"; Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently:: "\.bak$"; Dir::Ignore-Files-Silently:: "\.dpkg-[a-z]+$"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; Acquire ""; Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false"; Acquire::Max-ValidTime "1209600"; CommandLine ""; CommandLine::AsString "apt-config dump"; -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- deb http://debian-squeeze.vmsd.de/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb-src http://debian-squeeze.vmsd.de/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb http://debian-squeeze.vmsd.de/debian-security/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://debian-squeeze.vmsd.de/debian-security/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free # squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb http://debian-squeeze.vmsd.de/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://debian-squeeze.vmsd.de/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib non-free -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2010.08.28 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii gnupg 1.4.10-4 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime apt recommends no packages.
