Bad. There are checks to prevent exactly this. The only scenario where I
can imagine this happening:
- the server delivered empty files with OK status code
- you have hit a bug in LWP (the file download backend) and it
propagated the error code incorrectly?
This all should become a little bit more reliable with apt-cacher II.
