And in fact it totally does, only one update completes successfully, after that all clients get the error 404 trying to fetch "Packages" (not gz, not bz2, this exact filename), and according to approx cache dir contents, it only has Packages.gz. ------------------------------------------------------ Hit http://natsu.romanrm.ru wheezy InRelease Ign http://natsu.romanrm.ru wheezy/main amd64 Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://natsu.romanrm.ru wheezy/main TranslationIndex Err http://natsu.romanrm.ru wheezy/main amd64 Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://natsu.romanrm.ru wheezy/main Translation-en_US Ign http://natsu.romanrm.ru wheezy/main Translation-en W: Failed to fetch http://natsu.romanrm.ru:9998/debian/dists/wheezy/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. ------------------------------------------------------ In this state the clients can not update from approx anymore at all, until the cache dir is manually cleared out (after which "Packages" can be successfully fetched from the remote repository). So I delete /var/cache/approx/debian/dists/wheezy/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz, and update succeeds (once). Did you even test this patch at all? -- With respect, Roman
