Package: apt-proxy Version: 1.9.28 Severity: serious The apt-proxy-v1tov2 script seems broken as it creates in the v2 configuration file something like:
;; Network timeout when retrieving from backend servers timeout = which prevent apt-proxy to start: ~# /etc/init.d/apt-proxy start Starting apt-proxy Failed to load application: string index out of range . apt-proxy-v1tov2 seems to use the RSYNC_TIMEOUT value from apt-proxy.conf which is set in the old format preference file: # Number of seconds for rsync to wait before timing out. RSYNC_TIMEOUT=30 By changing the timeout value in the v2 configuration file, apt-proxy starts and works correctly. I don't think that stopping because a value is defined to empty in a configuration file is normal. This should be catched by the program, shourdn't it ? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.29-plusat.4 Locale: LANG=fr_FR, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) # dpkg -l debconf python python2.3 python-twisted python-apt # python-bsddb3 bzip2 logrotate rsync Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management system ii python 2.3.5-1 An interactive high-level object-oriented la ii python2.3 2.3.5-1 An interactive high-level object-oriented la ii python-twisted 1.3.0-8 Event-based framework for internet applicati ii python-apt 0.5.10 Python interface to libapt-pkg ii python-bsddb3 3.3.0-6 Python interface to libdb3 ii bzip2 1.0.2-5 high-quality block-sorting file compressor - ii logrotate 3.7-2 Log rotation utility un rsync <none> (no description available) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
