Package: apt Version: 2.7.3 Severity: normal echo -n > /var/lib/apt/lists/www.coker.com.au_dists_bookworm_InRelease echo -n > /var/lib/apt/lists/www.coker.com.au_dists_bookworm_misc_binary-arm64_Packages
I ran the above commands to truncate the apt lists files for my source and ran "apt update" and got the below error. What I expected to happen is to have apt say "cached files are corrupt, refreshing from the net" or something similar. While it is technically correct to say that the files couldn't be split into parts, the correct thing to say is "no data found". The reason I tested this is that I had a problem on an Ubuntu system with zero byte files in /var/lib/apt/lists (for unknown reasons) and chose Debian/Unstable as the platform to reproduce and report the bug. # apt update Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable InRelease Hit:2 http://repo.mobian.org trixie InRelease Hit:3 https://www.coker.com.au bookworm InRelease Err:3 https://www.coker.com.au bookworm InRelease Splitting up /var/lib/apt/lists/www.coker.com.au_dists_bookworm_InRelease into data and signature failed Reading package lists...
