Package: apt-cacher Version: 1.7.4 Severity: normal Hi,
I -think- I've found a chunk-related bug. The initial symptom is a
slow-running (due to waiting for server-end timeouts) apt-get update,
accompanied by a BADSIG error from gpg.
curl hints at a problem:

curl: (56) Problem (2) in the Chunked-Encoded data
It looks a bit like apt-cacher is saying that it's returning a chunked
reply in the headers, and then failing to actually chunk the reply it
sends. APT seems to quietly ignore the lack of chunkedness in the reply,
and ends up eventually absorbing a 408 error into the response body.
Just in case I've made a horrible mistake, I've attached a pcap dump of the
above curl request, as seen from the apt-cacher machine's side.
