** Description changed: [Impact] Users of apt repositories that use https will occasionally recieve an error message and not be able to update properly: W: Size of file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.example .com_dists_precise_main_binary-amd64_Packages is not what the server reported 0 25118 This should be backported to Ubuntu precise because some companies may be delivering their internal apt repositories over SSL for security. [Test Case] Install apt-transport-https and setup an apt repository delivered over https. Do some updates and eventually the above error will happen. [Regression Potential] I've patched the Ubuntu precise version of apt and found no issues. + Curl - Exceedingly minimal as a variable needed to be reset to zero on structure re-use. + Apt - Possible regression if curl is not updated as well, as this adds a dependency on curl's CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET which is currently broken in 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.12. [Other Info] + + APT + * fix needs to be applied in Precise, quantal and raring + * Apt fix is already in Saucy. + + Curl + * fix needs to be applied in Precise, quantal and raring + * fix is in saucy-proposed. + This was reported to Debian first and is fixed in Debian unstable: http://bugs.debian.org/705648 The maintainers of apt in Ubuntu have not yet synced this to saucy. - affects ubuntu/apt + Fixes for both ubuntu/apt and ubuntu/curl need to be included for this + to be properly fixed. - -- + -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
