Package: apt-cacher
Version: 1.5.3
Severity: important
Hi,
This is the same issue I sent you some private mail about earlier,
but it does seem to be resolving itself into a repeatable bug, so
I'm opening a report.
There would seem to be some relationship to one or more existing
reports, but as the symptoms are again different, I'll keep this
separate and let you decide the lines to merge on.
Here is an example:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
debconf-doc gkdebconf libcairo-perl libglib-perl libgnome2-canvas-perl
libgnome2-perl
libgnome2-vfs-perl libgtk2-perl libterm-readline-gnu-perl

After unpacking 8290kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

Ok, looks like a 'normal' network error at this stage...
Try it again:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
debconf-doc gkdebconf libcairo-perl libglib-perl libgnome2-canvas-perl
libgnome2-perl
libgnome2-vfs-perl libgtk2-perl libterm-readline-gnu-perl

0% [1 debconf-doc 165]
This time it hangs solid at that point until it times out again.
Note that apt does not know the size of the file it is expecting
in the progess meter. Subsequent retries consistently stop at
exactly this point. In my cache now is:
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 228 2006-05-10 12:11
./headers/debconf-doc_1.5.0_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 165 2006-05-10 12:11
./packages/debconf-doc_1.5.0_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 72 2006-05-10 12:11
./private/debconf-doc_1.5.0_all.deb.complete
Removing those files clears the problem, and a subsequent retry
will then have the normal chance of success.
Variations on the theme:
1. If the user doing the download interrupts it themselves (eg. ^C, or any
stronger signal), then similar results occur for the package if the
cache was scoring a 'miss' for it and in the process of retrieving it.
2. The download does not hang 'short', but instead overruns, and reports
(sometimes far) greater data transferred than the actual size of the
package. I suspect that apt-cacher is actually downloading other
packages during that time, but streams it all to apt as the same
'unknown size' package.
In every case, manually finding and removing the offending files from
the cache clears the problem. But that is a fairly major usability
stopper in any case where the end users aren't also admin, hence the
choice of 'important' status.
Other than this, it seems to be working quite nicely. Thanks very much!
Ron
