Public bug reported: On Focal:
Please verify that ftp://www.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/dep11/ does not contain a file called icons-48x48.tar - though the InRelease file (ftp://www.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/InRelease) lists one. When the sources.list is configured for http, the missing file is ignored and apt works fine. When the sources.list is configured for a local folder, apt fails: Failed to fetch file:/... File not found. E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored ... Still it is not ignored cause apt now fails to install any new package. ----------- Note that, in order to test this I setup an apache2 for a local directory listing. So apt is always accessing the same repository. Once with http: (which succeeds) and once with file: ----------- So from my perspective the handling of missing files (from InRelease) is different when using http: and file: Either apt allows missing files from a local repository, or the InRelease file shall be corrected.
