I have noticed this also, on numerous occasions. However, without the dropping of packages (which is actually a bit more annoying)
Since I'm using a very unstable connection (and have set up Apt-proxy on many unstable connections) I've noticed that quite often the download times-out. Then aptitude (or apt-get) will wisely attempt to restart the connection and download the package again. Apt-cacher is apparently (still?) unable to deal with this new download however: Wed Apr 14 12:35:10 2010|info [18637]: return_file /var/cache/apt-cacher/packages/libsvn1_1.5.4dfsg1-1ubuntu2.1_i386.deb aborted by timeout at 274049 of 734110 bytes Wed Apr 14 12:37:15 2010|info [18642]: return_file /var/cache/apt-cacher/packages/libsvn1_1.5.4dfsg1-1ubuntu2.1_i386.deb aborted by timeout at 274049 of 734110 bytes It passes the partial download, and then is incapable of downloading the rest of the file. What I have to do is go and download the files myself, and re-download hoping that the download does not time out again: rm /var/cache/apt-cacher/packages/libsvn1_1.5.4dfsg1-1ubuntu2.1_i386.deb rm /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libsvn1_1.5.4dfsg1-1ubuntu2.1_i386.deb Package: apt-cacher Version: 1.6.11 Ubuntu Release: 9.04 (Jaunty) -- apt-cacher should resume unfinished downloads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
