[Bug 311186] Re: [apt-ftparchive] Getting "Size mismatch" when rebuilding a package with same version

[H.-Dirk Schmitt]

As a manual workaround for a single rebuild just remove the
packages-i386.db/packages-amd64.db/.. cache files.

Title:
  [apt-ftparchive] Getting "Size mismatch" when rebuilding a package
  with same version

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  There is a bug in apt-ftparchive that makes it not update the filesize
  and hash sums.

  To reproduce it:
  Build a package and let apt-ftparchive archive that package in a Packages file.
  Then make some changes to the package and let it build again. Then apt-ftparchive does
  not update the filesize and hash sums in the Packages file.
  If you then have a package that has a build dependency on that package you get something like that
  from apt when it tries to install the package:
  Failed to fetch http://localhost/post_build/intrepid/libtuxcap1_1.3.3-1~getdeb1_i386.deb Size mismatch
