Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt-mirror
Following this discussion: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20081203.042436.4914b253.fr.html it seems that feisty has been taken out from archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu//dists/feisty/ . This is quite unlucky as this actually causes apt-proxy to crash: $ /usr/bin/apt-mirror Downloading 240 index files using 1 threads... Begin time: Tue Dec 23 10:11:45 2008 [1]... [0]... End time: Tue Dec 23 10:16:11 2008 Proceed indexes: [PPPPsh: cannot open archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu//dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: No such file apt-mirror: can't open index in proceed_index_gz at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 382. [execution stops here] The failure to retrieve the feisty repo has caused my repo not to get updated for a while (took me a while to notice, cf #201020), including security updates etc etc. I think apt-proxy should have a nicer fallback mode, where if it fails to download one index, it continues and upgrades the other ones... else, from the day the repo gets removed from the central archive, you won't get security upgrades anymore until you remove the removed repo from your apt-proxy configuration. ** Affects: apt-mirror (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- APT-proxy fails on single download error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
