Public bug reported: [Impact]
Users of apt repositories that use https will occasionally recieve an error message and not be able to update properly: W: Size of file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.example .com_dists_precise_main_binary-amd64_Packages is not what the server reported 0 25118 This should be backported to Ubuntu precise because some companies may be delivering their internal apt repositories over SSL for security. [Test Case] Install apt-transport-https and setup an apt repository delivered over https. Do some updates and eventually the above error will happen. [Regression Potential] I've patched the Ubuntu precise version of apt and found no issues.
