I've been playing with the compression in order to make my debs smaller. I add the following to my debian/rules file override_dh_builddeb: dh_builddeb -- -Zlzma -z9 This dropped a package from 3GB using the default settings to 1.9 GB using lzma -z 9.
It also looks as if this may have been fixed in Oneiric. The Debian bug report indicates that apt 0.8.16~exp3 contains the fix, which is the current version in Oneiric. I was unable to test this because the Oneiric installer crashes during install in my virtual box VM. ---Alex -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815895 Title: W: Bizarre Error - File size is not what the server reported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/815895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
