I tracked it down further today, accidentally finding a reproducer. In
methods/http.cc we check for Req.DownloadSize > Req.MaximumSize and fail
with an error if that's the case; hence ensuring our download was within
the allowed range for the request.
The issue is that Req.MaximumSize is calculate
We tracked this down to the Pulp repository not having Size fields.
While this is a broken repository, APT should also more gracefully
handle that situation, either by warning about missing Size values,
erroring out, disabling pipelining; or by fixing pipelining to behave if
we don't know the size
With help from @juliank, I was able to transfer the state from my bionic
box to focal, and hirsute. Issue reproduces on all of them. On hirsute,
apt is 2.2.1. Where do we go from here?

There have been no relevant changes between 1.6.y and 2.0.y, so it
really should reproduce with both of them or none of them.

The saltstack repository is served by pulp, so client -> httpd -> pulp.
I've verified that httpd responds with correctly. Not sure why pulpcore

just for the record: This is a misunderstanding. If apt does pipelining
it searches in the requests it made for the file this response is for.

Managing to get a reproducer for HTTP issues more than a couple of hours
has not really worked so far, and most people's reproducers don't work.
It's highly subjective to network latency and MTU afaict.

Please let me know if you can reproduce this with 2.2.2 in hirsute. No
changes can be made to the http method in stable releases, as it's super
fragile - Every time we make changes, something else breaks.
