Stable Proposed Updates needed for apt-cacher-ng
Hi,
today I noticed that accessing snapshots.d.o via apt-cacher-ng from
bookworm (3.7.4-1) is broken. TL;DR: we need a backport of this fix
(bug #1074404) to bookworm and bullseye.
Technical details:
The reason is a change in how files are served by the snapshot mirror
(via a redirect, example given below). A quick comparison with the apt-
cacher-ng version from sid showed that it is fixed there. I then
bisected the git repo and found that c1ea0fff92 seems to be the only
missing piece to make apt-cacher-ng work on bookworm again.
I was only able to observe this behavior on the mirror node
"185.213.153.170" / snapshot-mlm-01.debian.org.
Can we please get a backport of this fix, so snapshot.d.o can be
accessed via the cache again? The strict rate-limiting makes it
impossible to access the mirror directly.
Example (check the Location response):
curl -vvv
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20240702T082400Z/dists/bookworm/Release
* Trying 185.213.153.170:80...
