severity 188161 important thanks > (the problem does not seem so "simple" as previously exposed)
Definitely... I made wrong assumptions during my tests today, namely I forgot that the error happens *after* the debs are downloaded. I then reverted to my minimal testcase, ie. woody mirror, with or w/o security.d.o added, and the local apt repo with only my essential metapackage and a custom kernel, and the problem still occurs.
