I think I have tracked this down. ftp.us.debian.org is returning different ETags depending on which of the round-robin servers you end up getting connected to. This is messing up apt-cacher's freshness checks. I probably need to make it robust enough to cope with this, but the ETags really ought to be constant for the same file.
I don't think so I have exactly the same problem with the ubuntu clients downloading files from the ubuntu repositories. Eduardo. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
