This only happens on retries due to network failures, so in apt 2.2, the download would have failed anyway. It happens because APT tried to retry an item that failed before and that it then delayed the retry off, and _somehow_ the retry did not succeed. 2.3.9 lessens the severity of the issue, by turning the assert into a warning, but it might lead to the process hanging. It should give us the ability to see what happens, hopefully. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en signature.asc Description: PGP signature

My hostname returns a CNAME to an official mirror if you're somewhere[tm], and an A/ for an apt-cacher-ng if you're in my home network. The machine where I have seen the issue hasn't been outside the home network in years. It's a notebook, but one I use exclusively for testing.

Package: apt Version: 2.3.8 Followup-For: Bug #993291 I can confirm the same issue here: Ign:84 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de/debian experimental/main Translation-en 22% [Working]apt: ../apt-pkg/acquire.cc:742: pkgAcquire::RunResult pkgAcquire::Run(int): Assertion `I->Items->Owner->Status != pkgAcquire::Item::StatIdle' failed. Aborted (exit code 134) The mirror in question is an apt-cacher-ng and it is reachable (split DNS, so don't get confused by the name being a CNAME in global DNS). Ths system I am seeing this on is a test system running sid, it was updated a week before the bullseye release, and then partly upgraded a week after the bullseye release. All this was successful. The apt update following this partly completed upgrade fails now. I either get the "Asstion failed" message, or apt simply stalls: Ign:33 http://debian.debian.zugschlus.de/debian experimental/main all Contents (deb) T-2021-09-01-0801.19-F-2021-08-23-1401.28.pdiff 44% [Working] I am prepared to let this system sit in this state until the weekend, so if you want more debug information, please get back to me in the next two days.

Package: apt Version: 2.3.8 Severity: normal Hi, APT seems to have trouble downloading packages, when not all configured repositories are reachable. Attached is the result of running sudo LC_ALL=C apt-get upgrade 2>&1 | tee apt.log As you can see, at first apt-get (rightly) shows a lot of Ign lines for mirror.home.weltraumschlangen.de, as that mirror is not reachable at the moment. Then it crashes with a failed assertion at the end. It is my understanding, that apt should deal with unreachable mirrors gracefully and download packages from one of the available mirrors instead. I also never had this problems before with this setup before (including unreachable mirror), so I think this is a regression in apt 2.3.8. When I move my device to a network location where all configured mirros are available, the crash doesn't occur and I can successfully complete the upgrade. Using apt or apt-get doesn't seem to make a difference.
