I'm not sure if this was also directed at me, but in any case, I don't think I've ever stopped experiencing this from time to time. And it's always been with packages coming from the main Debian archive. Although I do have a single personal repo with a handful of packages. Thanks, Guillem

Thanks for the notice. I haven't seen this issue for quite a while. And at least the last few times I remember having noticed it, it was either only in derivatives (Kali IIRC) or with 3rd party repositories. So I wonder if its related to the repository format. Does it happen for you with official Debian repositories or with 3rd party repositories?
