Hello Chris, or anyone else affected,
Accepted apt-cacher-ng into precise-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher-
ng/0.7.2-1ubuntu2 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.

Title:
apt-cacher-ng data corruption with HTTP headers
Status in “apt-cacher-ng” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “apt-cacher-ng” source package in Precise:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
apt-cacher-ng is reporting hash mismatches for packages in an archive
at random. This is due to the fact that apt-cacher-ng is storing the
HTTP headers related to the package download in the .deb file.
This issue happens intermittently on precise apt-cacher-ng
0.7.2-1ubuntu1, but seems to be fixed in 0.7.4.
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
* When using apt-cacher-ng hash mismatches failures for packages can
cause problems when installing packages.
[Test Case]
* Set up apt-cacher-ng
* Intermittent failures due to hash-mismatches may occur in versions <= 0.7.2-1ubuntu1
[Regression Potential]
* This adds a few patches that fix the issue. Unfortuantely I was unable to find an upstream VCS to be able to separate out patches from each other. Therfore I tried to remove the very obvious bits of the code that did not address the issue. All of this code is already in newer versions of the package.
* This package has been tested in an environment with a apt-cache-ng server and 10 client machines and has been run for days without any hash mismatches.
