Hi, I have a strange problem with apt-get over https:// protocol
I built apt-0.7.2 from source, for debian etch, because apt-transport-https was not included in the repository. Most of the time, apt-get update and apt-get upgrade work fine over HTTP://, but what I've noticed is that after I change the .debs on the repository, rescan the Packages, etc, then my next apt-get updates fail. Sometimes it looks like this: Get:1 https://update.presinet.com testing/ Release.gpg [189B] Get:2 https://update.presinet.com testing/ Translation-en_US [189B] Ign https://update.presinet.com testing/ Translation-en_US Hit https://update.presinet.com testing/ Release [869B] Err https://update.presinet.com testing/ Release Get:3 https://update.presinet.com testing/ Release [869B] Ign https://update.presinet.com testing/ Release Ign https://update.presinet.com testing/ Packages/DiffIndex Ign https://update.presinet.com testing/ Packages Hit https://update.presinet.com testing/ Packages [17.4kB] Fetched 18.5kB in 1s (10.6kB/s) Reading package lists... Done As you can see, it hits the source, tries to get, and shows Err, and then Ign. If I run it a few more times, eventually it will show me at the end: transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining It never gets the package list. I do not have a workaround for this yet, because I don't understand how apt-get update works well enough yet. The error message above is from libcurl, I know that. If I edit my sources.list to get from another https:// source, apt-get update, and switch back, update again, it works! Which makes me think that apt keeps some sort of state information that needs to be cleared for update to work again. Am I correct? Is there a file or directory I can wipe out between updates to prevent this from happening in the future? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
