tags 554349 + confirmed thanks Hello Faheem Mitha & all other co-bug-reporters :)
First of all: Thanks for the report! I have currently no time to dig into it a bit deeper, (hopefully i can do it tonight or tomorrow) but my first guess is an overflow of an internal variable: apt-get update -o Debug::pkgAcquire::RRed=1 -qq results in 65,442 lines of output which is near the value of a signed integer (65,535). A patch of this size (~9 MB) is a bit uncommon as it is bigger than the complete download of the new file. It would be good if APT could detect it... we will see. :) As a workaround you can disable pdiffs temporary with apt-get update -o Acquire::Pdiffs=false Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen, David "DonKult" Kalnischkies -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
