Receiving this recently: Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... done. Latest snapshot on server is older than what we already have! Cowardly refusing to downgrade from Sun Mar 28 01:00:58 MST 2010 to Sat Mar 27 01:20:17 MST 2010.
I recall in other systems' package management repository update schemes seeing similar metadata errors and I've always felt it may be due to the caching on a transparent HTTP proxy on the network egress. Is the above likely due to such a situation? If so, is there a canonical "fix" for the issue (configuring cacheability on mirrors, configuration/tuning on proxies, options that may be passed on client side to signal bypass of cache? Or am I completely off base on this one?
