Package: approx Version: 5.3-1 Severity: minor Hi Eric,
I use approx for a private network, and apt-get update fails because of W: Failed to fetch http://server/ubuntu/dists/precise/restricted/source/Sources 404 Not Found The logs say: Sep 22 14:38:07 server approx[23149]: Nethttpd: Protocol exception: Sys_error("ubuntu/dists/precise/multiverse/source/Sources.gz: Permission denied") The permissions of Sources.gz: ---------- 1 approx approx 0 Sep 18 06:28 dists/precise/main/source/Sources.gz (so something got corrupted) The permissions of upstream Sources.gz: -rw-r--r-- 1 mirror dialout 1174967 Apr 25 2012 Sources.gz I looked for more files (find . -type f -perm 0), and there were 181 files like that. I removed them and things worked. I guess approx should try to clean away things it can't read and refetch from upstream. Also, sending 404 back to the client is not accurate.
