--- Begin Message ---Package: approx Version: 3.0.0~bpo40+1 Severity: normal Hi Today gc_approx started failing. This is reproducible for me. Any ideas? (Other than filesystem corruption? I will try an fsck later). Thanks for your work in Debian.

Attached debian/dists/lenny-proposed-updates/non-free/source/Sources.gz. However a proper look at it has shown me what the problem is. The file contents actually match etch-proposed-updates/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz. What I think happened is this. A while ago I replaced a disk on my home server with a larger disk, Because I didn't have room in the server to temporarily add the new disk, I added it to my desktop (which already had a backup of all the relevant files), and did a cp -a from my backups to the new disk, then dropped it in the server. My backups are managed by dirvish, which hardlinks unchanged files to the corresponding file from yesterday's backup. In addition I occasionally runa script to hardlink other duplicate files together. At the time I did the cp -a lenny-proposed-updates/non-free/source/Sources.gz appears to have been linked to {sarge,etch,lenny}-proposed-updates/{contrib,non-free}/ {binary-i386,binary-amd64,source}/{Sources,Packages}.gz. (It appears to have been the 20 byte file you get from touch foo ; gzip < foo > foo.gz). Mostly I don't actually use *-proposed-updates. Last week I updated a vm that does use etch-proposed-updates, and that resulted in {etch,lenny}-proposed-updates/{contrib,non-free}/ {binary-i386,binary-amd-64,source}/{Packages,Sources}.gz having the wrong content. I have fixed things locally, and closed the bug. Approx could prevent this by downloading files to a temp name, and then move them into place. Thanks for your work in Debian. Andrew
