[Bug 310544] [NEW] Size mismatch remains after much fiddling

[John Botha]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt-cacher-ng

Hi,

A few days ago I started receiving size mismatches upon updating. I
thought I'd give it a day or so, given the festive season and potential
slower fixes. The problem remains, however, and I've tried many things
(as per below), all to no avail.

As you will see, I tried a lot, and would appreciate some pointers. I
intended to upgrade 4 machines in addition to my cache one in the next
few days. Three are on the same (very limited, very expensive)
broadband, and the other is only on dial-up, so I really need this to
work!

First, system info:

#######

# lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 8.10
Release:        8.10

#######

# apt-cache policy apt-cacher-ng
apt-cacher-ng:
  Installed: 0.3.3-1
  Candidate: 0.3.3-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.3.3-1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.2.1-1 0
        500 http://localhost intrepid/universe Packages

#######

# grep -v '^$\|^#' /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://localhost:3142/packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free
deb http://localhost:3142/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid main universe multiverse restricted
deb-src http://localhost:3142/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid universe main multiverse restricted
deb http://localhost:3142/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-updates universe main multiverse restricted

#######

# uname -a
Linux [name removed] 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

#######

I tried the following before logging this (apart from various attempts
of "apt-get update" and "apt-get --fix-missing upgrade". Nothing made
any apparent difference.

1. Removed all the non-intrepid directories under /var/cache/apt-cacher-
ng/

2. Upgraded manually to the latest version of apt-cacher-ng, given the
older version in the intrepid repositories.

3. Did an expiration via the web page. Options were:

  "Stop cleanup on errors during index update step"

    and

  "Force the download of index files (even fresh ones)"

4. Edited out the country-specific parts of sources.list

5. Moved /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/_expending_dat elsewhere and tried
apt-get update and upgrade again.


Thanks in advance. This program is the reason I finally switched to a Debian-based distro, and has served me well for some time, now.
