For hirsute and earlier, this is a warning; for hirsute+1 it's an error so people's CI fails on them and doesn't "succeed with warnings" [Test plan] We have included a test case in the apt integration tests, which downloads three packages a, b, c where b is largest and has no Size field. With 2.2.2, it fails; with 2.2.3 it succceeds. We have also added a test case that a warning is shown. [Where problems could occur] Problems can only occur if you try to download packages without a Size field, as that is the only place code changes (adding code guarded with if ... Size ... == 0; 0 being unknown size). [Other changes] 2.2.3 includes the same change as 2.2.2ubuntu1 [Original bug report] 1) Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS 2) apt 1.6.12ubuntu0.2 3) What you expected to happen I set a custom set of repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list and then I run "apt install <list of packages>". I expect the command to download and install the packages. 4) What happened instead "apt install ..." fails during the download phase with "File has unexpected size ...." 5) What I've established trying to debug the issue: - Disabling http pipelining resolves the issue: "apt -oAcquire::http::Pipeline-Depth=0 install ..." - All the packages, and repo metadata in the referenced repositories is correct - The issue is easily reproducible in my setup with different repositories - tcpdump shows that requests and responses are in the correct order, and contain the correct data More details about the issue: https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/32178 With all the above in mind, it appears that this must be a bug in apt's http pipeline handling. It seem that apt is trying to match a request to do wrong response, and size doesn't match. I've attached an example log, where the error pops up for multiple packages, and they all appear to be compared to one size (86464 bytes). That size is correct for one of the package being downloaded, but somehow apt is trying to match to multiple other packages.
