Greetings: I have apt-proxy setup and running fine, mostly. I do have an issue I am unable to solve.
I am behind a dial up connection and large files (such as kernel images) sometimes do not download in a single session. Before I install apt-proxy, apt-get install ... would resume partial downloads. With apt-proxy, this is not the case and I understand why. To work around this situation, I have tried the following: * on the box with the failed d/l, resume the d/l myself. (i.e. cd /var/cache/apt/archives/partial wget -c http://url.configured.in.apt-proxy.conf.v2/pool/main/l/blah * mv the file to /var/cache/apt/archives. * apt is happy and will install the file properly. * I then would copy the file to its appropriate place on the apt box, * set the owner to aptproxy:nogroup. * sometimes this works, but often not, as when another client tries to * get file, apt-proxy goes thru its verification process and fails. My question then is, what is the verification process and why does it fail? >From the logs, it appears as apt-proxy tries to run dpkg --fsys-tarfile on the deb, if I run this manually, he works, when apt-proxy runs it, the verification failes and he tries to d/l the whole deb again.
