I was seeing the dreaded "503 Inconsistent file state" talking to the canonical (sorry) package repositories. As I said, there are no explicit upstream proxies, but who knows what the ISP is doing (this would be a big argument in favour of running apt-get over https to my mind..)
Anyway, at the moment after a cycles of intelligent nuking (trying to retain my cache contents while rebuilding it) things seem OK. I feel bad for not going into full-on debug mode and trying to get to the bottom of it, but I'm got a huge mountain of stuff to do and just needed this working so I could get on :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1826405 Title: Repeatedly "storage error [503 Inconsistent file state], last errno: File exists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher-ng/+bug/1826405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
