[Bug 698233] Re: checksum error - backport 0.9.9squeeze3 to maverick

[Julian Taylor]

debdiff with backported patch

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: apt-offline
  
- is it possible to get the quite simple checksum patch from 0.9.9squeeze3 which is in natty into maverick?
- I can't get anything done with the maverick version due to "Checksum mismatch"
- The natty version works.
+ A bug in creating the checksum of the downloaded packages makes this package mostly unusable.
+ This issue has been addressed in commit http://git.debian.org/?p=apt-offline/apt-offline.git;a=commitdiff;h=151a363c525d8504eae7696da35c73b3d1978584
+ which is included in the version 0.9.9squeeze available in natty.
+ 
+ the attached debdiff includes this commit.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ select an package that is not installed and make sure it is in the apt cache (/var/cache/apt/archives)
+ sudo apt-offline set apt-offline.sig --install-packages package-name
+ apt-offline get apt-offline.sig --bundle test.apt
+ 
+ result with patch or 0.9.9squeeze3: successful download into a temporary
+ file
+ 
+ result with version 0.9.9:  ERROR: universalindentgui Checksum mismatch.
+ ERROR: The following files failed to be downloaded.
+ ERROR: universalindentgui failed.
+ 
+ the same occurs when using apt-offline set --upgrade
