After upgrade from 4.3.1 rev 40062 to 4.4.1 rev 40089 I have noticed my
Debian repositories are no longer updating their index files. After looking
at the logs it appears that the 4.4.x vintage has switched to a new
mechanism for parsing the control files within the packages.

We have a variety of 'bad' packages that dpkg cannot extract due to the
control.tar.gz coming after the data.tar.gz and the control file containing
empty fields, i.e. "Depends: ". In versions of Artifactory prior to 4.4.x
the indexer was able to parse these bad packages and update the index
without any issue. In the new versions these package cause the indexer to
fail. We use this repository as an Opkg target and it has always been fine
with the 'bad' packages. Since 4.4.x has added native support for Opkg
repositories I may look at migrating, but from initial testing it appears
that the Opkg package indexer is just running dpkg and has the same
failures.

Is there any way of getting the old behavior back or am I going to be forced
to try and fix all the package artifacts we have in there?

Thanks for any help.
