apt-get is taking random, indeterminate periods of time to update the
local Package lists.
Debian package mirror, in woody/main/binary-i386:
-rw-r--r-- 1 aptp aptp 3197648 Apr 27 05:42 Packages
Local system after apt-get update:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3192837 Apr 27 10:51
/var/state/apt/lists/debian.topic.com.au_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages
Notice the small size discrepency - that's today's packages, which apt
has not retrieved. I have tried deleting the files in
/var/state/apt/lists/ (which worked yesterday) but to no avail today.
I have no http_proxy env. var. set but apt.conf is setup such:
Acquire
{
http
{
Proxy::debian.topic.com.au "DIRECT";
Proxy "http://proxy.tsa:8080";;
};
};
so that for the local package mirror it goes direct, and everything else
it hits the proxy server for. I've checked the proxy access logs and it
is only being hit for the non-local entries in sources.list.
sources.list reads:
deb http://debian.topic.com.au/ unstable main contrib non-free non-US/main
non-US/contrib non-US/non-free
deb http://www.rcpt.to/ pending main
deb http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main
deb-src http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main
deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/linux/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/linux/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main
contrib non-free

Sounds to me like your mirror is messed up, APT downloads the .gz files,
not the uncompressed ones so you should be looking at that.
Certianly, it is not possible for APT to create a package file out of thin
air that is yesterdays, whatever is on your mirror is what it is going to
download.
