(all version, incl. 0.17) this error seems to enjoy meeting me
Hello,
Using FTP method of apt gives me again and again this error. Usually when
it happens (appx. 3 out of 10) it stops always at the same file. If I
retrieve the file by hand and installit by dpkg the install can continue.
Inserting some debugging point into Cmd.pm shows that there is a RETR
command, probably failing and closing the filehandle because some reason
beyond me, and teh next QUIT command goes into the closed filehandle,
failing. But the program continues, trying to issue MDTM on the package,
probably using the very same closed filehandle, and catches an infinite
wait.
Stopping it only possible by ctrl-c AND kill -9 the background ftp
session.

And thats all, no further move.
If anyone needs some debugging, tell me what do check. :) I ain't a pro at
perl debugging deeper than inserting prints at key points and watch 'em.
bye,
