A short status:
* rsync by default uses only modification time and file size to sync
files
* ftpsync doesn't use rsync checksum by default
* ftp.de.d.o (on top of many servers I guess) doesn't allow server
checksum because of the impact on system load.
So as a consequence, if a file is corrupted (but mtime and size match)
on a rsync server somewhere between ftp-master.debian.org and a debian
mirror, fixing one primary rsync mirror is not enough.
The only ways to fix it are:
1/ on a rsync server with the fixed file: touch the modification time to
force resync on downstream mirrors
2/ on every downstream mirror with bad file: touch the modification time
3/ on every downstream mirror with bad file: delete the file
Solution 2/ or 3/ can be automated by checking the MD5 sums of the whole
archive on a periodic basis, then delete them:
wget -q -O - http://some.mirror/debian/indices/md5sums.gz | gunzip -c - | LANG=C md5sum -c - 2>&1 | grep "FAILED$"
Remarks ?
