Well, this doesn't work any better. But as I tried your patch it happened I discovered something that might be of interest. Presently I only made tests on the 'server' machine, that is the one running apt-cacher since I don't have accessible client for now. The patch version exhibited many error messages : r...@ataz [533] /tmp$ aptitude -v update Ign file: binary/ Release.gpg Ign file: binary/ Translation-fr Ign file: binary/ Release Ign file: binary/ Packages Atteint http://localhost testing/updates Release.gpg Err http://localhost testing/updates/main Translation-fr Échec de la connexion Err http://localhost testing/updates/contrib Translation-fr Échec de la connexion Err http://localhost testing/updates/non-free Translation-fr Échec de la connexion Atteint http://localhost testing Release.gpg Atteint http://localhost testing/main Translation-fr Err http://localhost testing/non-free Translation-fr Échec de la connexion Err http://localhost testing/contrib Translation-fr Échec de la connexion Atteint http://localhost testing-proposed-updates Release.gpg Err http://localhost testing-proposed-updates/main Translation-fr Échec de la connexion Err http://localhost testing-proposed-updates/non-free Translation-fr Échec de la connexion Err http://localhost testing-proposed-updates/contrib Translation-fr Échec de la connexion Atteint http://localhost testing/updates Release Atteint http://localhost testing Release Atteint http://localhost testing-proposed-updates Release Ign http://localhost testing/updates/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://localhost testing/updates/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://localhost testing/updates/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://localhost testing/updates/main Sources/DiffIndex Ign http://localhost testing/updates/contrib Sources/DiffIndex Ign http://localhost testing/updates/non-free Sources/DiffIndex Atteint http://localhost testing/main Packages/DiffIndex Atteint http://localhost testing/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Atteint http://localhost testing/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Atteint http://localhost testing/main Sources/DiffIndex Atteint http://localhost testing/non-free Sources/DiffIndex Atteint http://localhost testing/contrib Sources/DiffIndex Atteint http://localhost testing-proposed-updates/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://localhost testing-proposed-updates/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://localhost testing-proposed-updates/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Atteint http://localhost testing/updates/main Packages Atteint http://localhost testing/updates/contrib Packages Atteint http://localhost testing/updates/non-free Packages Atteint http://localhost testing/updates/main Sources Atteint http://localhost testing/updates/contrib Sources Atteint http://localhost testing/updates/non-free Sources Atteint http://localhost testing-proposed-updates/non-free Packages Atteint http://localhost testing-proposed-updates/contrib Packages Lecture des listes de paquets...

While I wish to check for the exact english translation of the error messages, I runned apt-cacher with LC_ALL=C and behold, everything run fine ! I reversed to the official package version and tried with LC_ALL=C and it worked fine too. This seems to establish strong connections with #517761 albeit the error messages are not exactly the same. pp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
