Public bug reported: 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 ii apt-utils 1.2.24 amd64 package management related utility programs ii libapt-inst2.0:amd64 1.2.24 amd64 deb package format runtime library ii libapt-pkg5.0:amd64 1.2.24 amd64 package management runtime library 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. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750625 Title: update misinterprets 304 response on Packages.gz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1750625/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
