There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version (like precise and above). When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly

I see this problem too, but it isn't cured by a restart. Package files are somehow getting corrupted by acng, and this on two separate installations. I have to go in and clear out the old files from the cache to fix it. -- apt-cacher-ng hangs and corrupts packages (intrepid)

I've experienced this kind of problem (or similar) on Lucid with 0.4.3 (and maybe before): 1. sometimes apt-get update fails with connection refused 2. sometimes after downloading packages they appear to be missing completely (or are corrupted) (bug 523395 for the result of this - may not be

Relax, you seem to assume that I am offended but I don't really care. We (in Debian) have been living for a long time with this conflict between long-time-freeze ideology and the need for fixes which came only with incompatible changes. But after all, every user of an LTS distro should realize

I think Poppafuzze wasn't commenting on this bug. His rant and his incorrect claims certainly have no relation to what's been discussed here. In general, I think it's advisable to actually understand before ranting and risking to look stupid. The only thing I could make out from his incorrect

Could you Ubuntu folks please stop attacking upstream with a threat to pull a package? That is just assy behavior. Upstream pointed out a flaw in the selection/release/update workflow that is used to prevent a fix from becoming manifest. It was good advice from upstream, for free, based on

I'm experiencing the same problem. acng would still be running but it would not respond to any requests. I upgraded to the version in Rolf's PPA and will report if this doesn't solve the problem. Placing the following in /etc/apt/preferences seemed to keep anything besides acng from being

Just as a general warning to the public: It is generally not advisable and will lead to all kinds of strange problem when installing debian binary packages directly into a Ubuntu system. The much preferred route is to take the debian sources and recompile them for the target release. This is

actually, I removed the jaunty version after recompiling them. Please try the 0.2.2 release from https://launchpad.net/%7Er0lf/+archive/ which is what I have been using successfully for several months now. It is better to be minimal in the changes we make, we may eventually be able to come up

Eduard, thank you for the quick response. 0.3.3 (or a later version) should go into jaunty, no doubt. For the stable releases hardy and intrepid, we only have two options and updating to 0.3.3 is not one of them. a) find a minimal patch to fix the problem b) ask everybody to install 3rd-party

I don't think that cherry picking is a good idea here. That issue is not some missing bounds or null pointer check (or similar obvious bug), instead we have a nebulous problem here. For the fix between 0.2.1 and 0.2.2 (the Debian frozen version) I can provide a patch which might help and which is

Thank you for the patch. I don't think there is any chance of getting a 144KB patch in. I think there is some misunderstanding about LTS and the ubuntu release process. acng is in universe where packages are merged automatically. The LTS sticker only applies to the distro as a whole and
