Package: apt-cacher Version: 1.5.3 Severity: important Ran into this when attempting to install Debian sarge off an apt-cacher server. The installer invokes busybox-wget to grab the Release file, yielding the error message "wget: no response from server". The error is reproducible with a standalone busybox binary built from CVS.
Turns out that busybox-wget is sending a request like so... printf 'GET /debian/dists/sarge/Release HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: apt-cacher.example.com\r\nUser-Agent: Wget\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n' | netcat apt-cacher.example.com 80 ...which returns no output. If you replace apt-cacher.example.com with some standard Debian server (e.g. debian.lcs.mit.edu), the same request returns the Release file, as it should. For reference, standard wget sends an HTTP/1.0 request with "Connection: Keep-Alive". That works fine. Severity marked as "important" as this causes the Debian sarge installer to fail. --Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
