Re: apt 0.6 in experimental
If this is off-topic, let me know.
I installed apt 0.6.4 from incoming and it seems to work fairly well until I
add my public key using apt-key. If I don't add my public key, I get a
warning, but "apt-get update" works fine. Once I add the key, I get the
following strange error when i apt-get update:
[...]
Get:2 http://debian.houseofnate.net experimental Release.gpg [189B]
[...]
Get:5 http://debian.houseofnate.net experimental Release [2395B]

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
The file http://debian.houseofnate.net/dists/experimental/Release does exists
and is getting downloaded from my server with a 200 result, and AFAICT is a
valid Release file (based on an official one). Apt is, however, neglecting
to download any Packages files, according to my apache log.
The relevant source line is this:
deb http://debian.houseofnate.net/ experimental nwt cdp
This probably won't make sense without more information, but is this the right
place to report this (or should I file a bug report?), and what additional
info might be helpful? I'm a bit baffled and unable guess what is wrong
without looking at the source (which I may do later if I have time, but
haven't yet).
Cheers,
nate
