The following does not solve the problem, but limits the frequency of the problems when using squid as a proxy. I added the following two lines to the squid configuration: --- acl DEBIAN_NOCACHE urlpath_regex Release Packages.bz2 Translation.*.bz2 cache deny DEBIAN_NOCACHE ---
This prevents the files that change frequently from being cached by squid. As they are relatively small, the impact on the bandwidth use is not that bad. It does not solve the problem with mirrors being temporarily out of sync or the race condition in file access. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972077 Title: apt repository disk format has race conditions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/972077/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
