Package: squid-deb-proxy Version: 0.8.9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? I wanted to use a non default port for squid-deb-proxy. I edited /etc/squid-deb-proxy/squid-deb-proxy.conf Originally it had a line: http_port 8000 I commented that line and added a new one: # http_port 8000 http_port 19302 After restarting squid-deb-proxy, the service was no longer working for any hosts. The port wasn't being advertised correctly. Before the change, I saw: $ avahi-browse -kprtf _apt_proxy._tcp | tail -1 | cut -d';' -f6- local;chris.local;192.168.1.105;8000; After the change, I saw: $ avahi-browse -kprtf _apt_proxy._tcp | tail -1 | cut -d';' -f6- local;chris.local;192.168.1.105;0; ie. the port was being advertised as 0, not 19302. I looked into it, to see why this was, and found this in /usr/share/squid-deb-proxy/init-common.sh : PORT=$(grep http_port /etc/squid-deb-proxy/squid-deb-proxy.conf|cut -d' ' -f2) That 'grep' is matching both the commented and uncommented lines in the config file. Before my change to the config file: $ PORT=$(grep http_port /etc/squid-deb-proxy/squid-deb-proxy.conf|cut -d' ' -f2) $ echo $PORT 8000 After my change: $ PORT=$(grep http_port /etc/squid-deb-proxy/squid-deb-proxy.conf|cut -d' ' -f2) $ echo $PORT http_port 19302 This is the cause of the problem. A simple fix would be to do something to ensure that comments in the .conf file are ignored: PORT=$(grep '^\s*http_port\s' /etc/squid-deb-proxy/squid-deb-proxy.conf|cut -d' ' -f2) -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages squid-deb-proxy depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii squid3 3.4.8-6+deb8u2 Versions of packages squid-deb-proxy recommends: ii avahi-utils 0.6.31-5 squid-deb-proxy suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/squid-deb-proxy/squid-deb-proxy.conf changed [not included] -- debconf information excluded
