[Bug 1179781] Please test proposed package

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Paul, or anyone else affected,

Accepted curl into raring-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/7.29.0-1ubuntu3.2
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  [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.
  Curl - Exceedingly minimal as a variable needed to be reset to zero on structure re-use.Apt - Possible regression if curl is not updated as well, as this adds a dependency on curl's CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET which is currently broken in 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.12.

  [Other Info]

  APT
  * fix needs to be applied in Precise, quantal and raring
  * Apt fix is already in Saucy since at least version 0.9.9.1~ubuntu1

  Curl
  * fix needs to be applied in Precise, quantal and raring
  * fix is in saucy as of version 7.31.0-1ubuntu1

  This was reported to Debian first and is fixed in Debian unstable:

  http://bugs.debian.org/705648

  The maintainers of apt in Ubuntu have not yet synced this to saucy.

  Fixes for both ubuntu/apt and ubuntu/curl need to be included for this
  to be properly fixed.
