The change that fixed this bug was modified in the following merge with Debian:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- branches/ubuntu/precise/apt/precise/revision/1.5.24 which states: * apt-pkg/acquire-item.{cc,h}: - do not check for a "Package" tag in optional index targets like the translations index and we can see the code change at: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- branches/ubuntu/precise/apt/precise/revision/1.5.24/apt-pkg/acquire- item.cc#apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc However it is not clear to me how optional and non-optional targets are defined and I wonder if these are not misdefined somehow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346386 Title: [MASTER] Update fails with invalid package files with "Encountered a section with no Package: header" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/346386/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
