--- Begin Message ---Package: apt Version: 1.3 Severity: normal Recently (sorry, I don’t know with which version precisely), I have noticed that apt acquires pdiffs when running “sudo apt-get update” (yes, I have updated my aliases to prefer apt over apt-get for the future). Since pdiffs make updates way slower in my setup, I have pdiffs disabled on all my machines using: $ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/06disable-pdiffs Acquire::Pdiffs "no"; However, that does not seem to be enough. I’ve tried explicitly disabling all options containing “pdiff”, but disabling the Acquire::IndexTargets::*::PDiffs options doesn’t seem to work at all: $ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/06disable-pdiffs Acquire::Pdiffs "no"; Acquire::IndexTargets::deb::Contents-deb::PDiffs "false"; Acquire::IndexTargets::deb::Contents-udeb::PDiffs "false"; Acquire::IndexTargets::deb-src::Contents-dsc::PDiffs "false"; $ apt-config dump|grep -i pdiff Acquire::IndexTargets::deb::Contents-deb::PDiffs "true"; Acquire::IndexTargets::deb::Contents-udeb::PDiffs "true"; Acquire::IndexTargets::deb-src::Contents-dsc::PDiffs "true"; Acquire::Pdiffs "no"; Am I running into a bug, or am I doing something wrong? If the latter, what is the correct way to disable pdiffs once and for all? Thanks. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "false"; APT::Install-Suggests "false"; APT::Sandbox ""; APT::Sandbox::User "_apt"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-headers-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-extra-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-signed-image-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-headers-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-headers-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-modules-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-modules-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-kernel-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^.*-kernel-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-backports-modules-.*-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-4\.3\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-tools-4\.6\.0-1-amd64$"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages ""; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-headers"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-image-extra"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-signed-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-headers"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "gnumach-image"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-modules"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-kernel"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-backports-modules-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-tools"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "contrib/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "non-free/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections ""; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "contrib/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "non-free/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::Default-Release "testing"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.

"man apt.conf" PDiffs entry points to sources.list in case you wonder how you should find it (beside that it is a common concept that generic options are overridden by specifics). So, that works as documented and intended. Moving a file from 00 to 99 is not a "prio lowering" btw, it just changes the sorting order as apt.conf documents that files are read in order and 00 sorts before 99 – so you can override settings in the earlier files with later files, but that requires that you actually override the settings, not just setting a (for these files) unused default. Also, are you really sure you want to disable pdiffs for Content files? The file is updated every 6 hours and (compressed!) larger than 35 MB… Your connection bandwidth and speed must be extremely large to offset this. Anyhow, the bugreport already includes this & documents that apt-file does this by intend and wont change the default as it would end up worse for the (waste) majority of users – hence the bugreport isn't actionable (especially not in apt) and lies somewhere between wontfix, opinion and user-error: Therefore I am closing it.
