Which version should that be?
I can't reproduce it with:
# debootstrap --variant=minbase squeeze squeeze-minbase
http://http.debian.net/debian
# chroot squeeze-minbase/
# apt-get update
[Hit on Release.gpg, Release, Packages - no download ]
# rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/
# apt-get update
[Gets Release.gpg, Release, Packages - ~8MB fetched ]
# apt-get update
[Hit on Release.gpg, Release, Packages - no download ]
Did the same with a sid chroot, expect changing the sources to
squeeze of course and still no dice - sorry.
Are you sure the involved servers respond correctly?
[Demo page says for my test: 130.83.114.189 | 8365 | EU | DE]
(You can see some sub-optimality here if you try it with a pdiff
enabled-sources as it should know after hitting Release that the
rest of the files can't be changed [or if they are, this means we
get a hashsum error anyway] and therefore shouldn't download the
indexes for the pdiffs - but this is done also only a single time)
