Dear tubers,
please do my homework for me. It's beer o'clock on a warm
Friday afternoon - I considered doing it myself but I'm too lazy.
Boxen running Squeeze with Iceweasel and Icedove from mozilla.debian.net
and a few other backports on networks with and apt-cacher server/s.
Apt-cacher runs in daemon mode with standard settings. Boxen are
directed at the apt-cacher server by /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50proxy
Where directive is:-
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://[apt-cacher-box]:3142";;
When running apt-get update:-
;All repositories in sources.list generate bzip error warning[*1]
Eg.:-
Get:8 http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates/non-free
Translation-en [226 B]
76% [8 Translation-en bzip2 0 B] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for
headers] [Waitbzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
;Mozilla.debian.net repositories *fail* with[*2]:-
Failed to fetch
http://mozilla.debian.net/dists/squeeze-backports/iceweasel-release/binary-i386/Packages.bz2
Sub-process /bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2)
If apt-cacher is bypassed these errors don't occur.
Changing repositories doesn't change the errors.
No bug reports exist for this in apt-cacher.
Is anyone else having these errors?
Any constructive suggestions for solutions?
[*1] It's actually a gzip file. This error doesn't appear is apt-cacher
is not used. I suspect this may be a 404 handler type error, that bzip
is being looked for and not found, then gzip (or the uncompressed file)
is being used.
[*2] Again - this is actually a gzip file. (The error code indicates a
corrupt archive.)
Cheers
