Package: apt-cacher Version: 1.7.3~rc4 Justification: renders package unusable Severity: grave
*** Please type your report below this line *** *some* clients fail to download packages. Some are pure Squeeze, others include Squeeze-backports. All use apt (no aptitude, synaptic etc). I've tried a number of repositories over the last four days. The error is the same and I can't work out why it only seems to affect some boxen. Example error message on clients (edited):- Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cairomm/libcairomm-1.0-1_1.8.4-3_i386.deb Connection failed Site is good, and on the same machine:- # wget -t 0 http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cairomm/libcairomm-1.0-1_1.8.4-3_i386.deb --2012-03-06 14:18:10-- http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cairomm/libcairomm-1.0-1_1.8.4-3_i386.deb Resolving http.us.debian.org... 64.50.233.100, 64.50.236.52, 128.30.2.36, ...

Likewise changing client IP addresses. If I duplicate everything below /etc/apt from a working box nothing changes (same error). The only thing I haven't been able to try is downloading the exact same packages on a working box as on a non-working box. Please let me know what additional logs, or config files I can attach, or tests I can run. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt-cacher depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.15.8.12 Debian package management system ii ed 1.4-3 The classic UNIX line editor ii libfilesys-df-perl 0.92-3+b1 Module to obtain filesystem disk s ii libfreezethaw-perl 0.5001-1 module to serialize and deserializ ii libio-interface-perl 1.05-1 socket methods to get/set interfac ii libnetaddr-ip-perl 4.028+dfsg-1 IP address manipulation module ii libsys-syscall-perl 0.23-1 module to access system calls that ii libwww-curl-perl 4.12-1 Perl bindings to libcurl ii libwww-perl 5.836-1 Perl HTTP/WWW client/server librar ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii perl 5.10.1-17squeeze3 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii update-inetd 4.38+nmu1+squeeze1 inetd configuration file updater Versions of packages apt-cacher recommends: ii libberkeleydb-perl 0.42-1~squeeze1 use Berkeley DB 4 databases from P Versions of packages apt-cacher suggests: pn libio-socket-inet6-perl <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/apt-cacher/apt-cacher.conf changed: log_dir = /var/log/apt-cacher/ group = www-data user = www-data allowed_hosts = 192.168.0.0/24 generate_reports = 1 /etc/default/apt-cacher changed: AUTOSTART=1 -- debconf information: * apt-cacher/mode: daemon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
