Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: normal This occurs when working with a repository generated by mini-dinstall.
I have these lines in sources.list: deb http://local-packages/excel stable/ deb-src http://local-packages/excel stable/ The repository pointed to it valid. When I run apt-get update for the first time after updating the repository with new packages, I get this error: Hit http://local-packages stable/ Packages Get:1 http://local-packages stable/ Release [706B] Hit http://local-packages stable/ Sources Get:2 http://local-packages stable/ Release [706B] ... Fetched 1412B in 0s (17.2kB/s) Failed to fetch http://local-packages/excel/stable/Release rename failed, No such file or directory (/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/local-packages_excel_stable_Release -> /var/lib/apt/lists/local-packages_excel_stable_Release). Reading Package Lists... Done For the second and subsequent invocations of apt-get update, I get no error. All other apt-get commands work fine as well. Also, if I comment out the deb-src line in my sources.list, apt-get works fine with update every time. The problem only occurs when that line is present. Alternatively, the problem goes away if I rm the Release file from the server. Checking my server logs shows that there was no error in fetching the file. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: Linux wile 2.4.19 #1 Wed Nov 27 09:54:55 CST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.1-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libstdc++2.10- 2.95.4-15 The GNU stdc++ library
