Package: apt-cacher-ng Version: 3.2-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear maintainer, apt-cacher-ng stopped working recently when used to cache the debian/sid suite. It reports the following error: | An error occurred while reading this file, some contents may have been ignored. Tag | Parsing metadata in deb/dists/sid/main/binary-arm64/Packages.xz I have tracked down this issue to a too small value of BUFSIZEMAX. The Packages file in sid now contains lines that are way longer than before and thus this variable needs to get adjusted: | $ wget -q -O - http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | xzcat | wc -L | 59936 | $ wget -q -O - http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | xzcat | wc -L | 149619 I have found that doubling the value to 32*4096 is enough, but it might be safer to double it to 64*4096 to be able to cope with further increase.
