Public bug reported: Server side by-hash index files are a new feature that was introduced in Xenial. This causes Xenial clients (apt) to start new pattern requests which apt-cacher-ng needs to be aware of. For Xenial's version of apt- cacher-ng this was already done.
SRU Justification (for backports): Impact: Another new feature of the archive in Xenial is server side by- hash index files. To support this when running through an apt-cacher-ng proxy requires another modification to be backported into older releases. Fix: TBD (pick the pattern modification and apply it to older releases). Testcase: Running "apt-get update" on a Xenial host causes error messages like below in the log of apt-cacher-ng on the proxy host. 1460365731|E|813|192.168.2.5|403 Forbidden file type or location: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/multiverse/dep11/by- hash/SHA256/e04fd75ac12e225db94a5c280c881054dc13a369c202b4085c90a6de7c92e8b2 ** Affects: apt-cacher-ng (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: apt-cacher-ng (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: apt-cacher-ng (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: apt-cacher-ng (Ubuntu Wily) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: apt-cacher-ng (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #819852 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=819852 ** Also affects: apt-cacher-ng (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=819852 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568754 Title: Support by-hash index files in apt-cacher-ng To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher-ng/+bug/1568754/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
