Title:
update misinterprets 304 response on Packages.gz
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
ii apt 1.2.24
amd64 commandline package manager
ii apt-transport-https 1.2.24
amd64 https download transport for APT

Expected behaviour:
If apt-get gets a 304 Not Modified when requesting Packages.gz, it
should ignore the package list (i.e., there's no update).
Observed behaviour:
Added a local repository to
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/instafreight_php.list:
> deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] http://ubuntu/instafreight xenial php
The first time running apt-get update succeeds; in addition,
apache.log shows:
> 10.0.4.72 - - [20/Feb/2018:12:01:39 -0500] "GET
/instafreight/dists/xenial/php/binary-amd64/Packages.gz HTTP/1.1" 200
745 "-" "Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (1.2.24)"
I am able to install packages from that repo without error.
Running apt-get a 2nd time succeeds. apache.log doesn't show a request
for Packages.gz
Running apt-get a 3rd time, apache.log shows:
> 10.0.4.72 - - [20/Feb/2018:12:04:45 -0500] "GET
/instafreight/dists/xenial/php/binary-amd64/Packages.gz HTTP/1.1" 304
124 "-" "Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (1.2.24)"
However, on the console where I ran apt-get, the corresponding output
is:
> Err:15 http://ubuntu/instafreight xenial/php amd64 Packages
> 404 Not Found
> ...
> E: Failed to fetch
http://ubuntu/instafreight/dists/xenial/php/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not
Found
> E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
