Subject: apt: http method through caching proxy fails
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Bcc:
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.2
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.11
Severity: normal
I am upgrading several machines using dpkg/apt with http. I set up one
with apache-ssl to act as a caching proxy with the following additions
to the httpd.conf file:
# ----------------------------Proxy--------------------------------
ProxyRequests on
CacheRoot /var/cache/apache-ssl-proxy
# 100 MB = 100000 kB
CacheSize 100000
CacheGcInterval 1
# 168 hours = 7 days
CacheMaxExpire 168
# ----------------------------Proxy--------------------------------
I set up apt on all the machines to send http requests through the
proxy with the following apt.conf file:
# -------------------apt.conf------------------
Acquire {
http {
Proxy "http://192.168.68.1:80/";;
};
};
# -------------------apt.conf------------------
Now, whenever apt makes a request for a package which has been cached,
I get the message (seemingly at the very beginning of the transfer or
after a few 100 bytes have been sent):
E: size mismatch for package whatever
I then have to restart the transfer manually, even if I set Retries to
"2". The second and subsequent requests for a cached package seem to go
fine.
I suspect this is due to lack of support in apt of a certain aspect of
the http/proxy protocol, which is why I am reporting this as an apt
bug, but that is just a guess.

This has been tested by numerous other people with no problems on apache
proxies. Thus it must be a local configuration error or an old buggy
version of apache.
