Bonjour Jean-François, Hi Jean-François, You might remember about a problem with iWeb's Debian mirror last year. Basically, APT fails to updates its indices if it contacts iWeb while iWeb is syncing. I understand that you quickly fixed this problem after being contacted by Simon Paillard in May 2012, by upgrading ftpsync to version 80387 (see http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/project/trace/debian.mirror.iweb.ca ).
Unfortunately, a new variant of this problem has appeared with the introduction of package translations causing similar symptoms to occur:
> # LANG=C apt-get update > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca wheezy InRelease > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca sid InRelease > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca experimental InRelease > Hithttp://security.debian.org wheezy/updates InRelease > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca wheezy/main i386 Packages/DiffIndex > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca wheezy/contrib i386 Packages/DiffIndex > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca wheezy/non-free i386 Packages/DiffIndex > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca wheezy/contrib Translation-en/DiffIndex > Get:1http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca wheezy/main Translation-en [3834 kB] > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca wheezy/non-free Translation-en/DiffIndex > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca sid/main Sources/DiffIndex > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca sid/main i386 Packages/DiffIndex > Hithttp://security.debian.org wheezy/updates/main i386 Packages > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca sid/contrib i386 Packages/DiffIndex > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca sid/non-free i386 Packages/DiffIndex > Get:2http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca sid/contrib Translation-en [36.8 kB] > Ignhttp://security.debian.org wheezy/updates/main Translation-en > Get:3http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca sid/main Translation-en [3953 kB] > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca sid/non-free Translation-en/DiffIndex > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca experimental/main i386 Packages/DiffIndex > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca experimental/contrib i386 > Packages/DiffIndex > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca experimental/non-free i386 > Packages/DiffIndex > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca experimental/contrib > Translation-en/DiffIndex > Get:4http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca experimental/main Translation-en > [137 kB] > Hithttp://debian.mirror.iweb.ca experimental/non-free > Translation-en/DiffIndex > Fetched 4 B in 8s (0 B/s) > W: Failed to fetch > bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/debian.mirror.iweb.ca_debian_dists_wheezy_main_i18n_Translation-en > Hash Sum mismatch > > W: Failed to fetch > bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/debian.mirror.iweb.ca_debian_dists_sid_contrib_i18n_Translation-en > Hash Sum mismatch > > W: Failed to fetch > bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/debian.mirror.iweb.ca_debian_dists_sid_main_i18n_Translation-en > Hash Sum mismatch > > W: Failed to fetch > bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/debian.mirror.iweb.ca_debian_dists_experimental_main_i18n_Translation-en > Hash Sum mismatch > > E: Some index files failed to download.

Although I'd argue that this is more an APT bug, one way to avoid the problem would be to update iWeb's ftpsync version (to 80486), or to switch to ftpsync-pushrsync. The latter should solve this kind of problem for good. Thank you -- Filipus Klutiero http://www.philippecloutier.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
