apt: Problems with MD5 checksums trough firewall
Hello,
in the beginning of September this year I filed a bug against apt
because it produces wrong "Size mismatches" if used through squid
proxy. (Sorry can't find the bug in the database any more.) After
some tests the bug mysteriosely disappeared. All worked fine for
some time. But one day it reappeared :-((. Now I use apt without
the squid proxy and -- the problem stays. So perhaps the reason
for the strange behaviour wasn't the proxy (nor the mirror site which
could sometimes cause the same error - but I changed it to verify).
The problem now stays since more than one month and I wonder, if our
firewall configuration could possibly induce this behaviour.
It's to soon to file a bug-report until I know more from other
developers. The effect is as follows:
~# apt-get install hello

Does anybody have an idea what's the problem could be?
