Bug#968233: apt regression: abort downloads on "long" package lists
Package: apt
Version: 2.1.9
Severity: serious
Hi,
I think I've found a regression in the apt 2.1.9 upload.
When building system images, we do call 'apt install' with all the
packages in one single line, which is what we've been e.g. doing since
2006 for all the live images. Until 2.1.8 this works fine.
With 2.1.9, this fails:
[...]
Get:188 https://debian.ethz.ch/debian buster/main amd64 psmisc amd64
23.2-1 [126 kB]
Get:189 https://debian.ethz.ch/debian buster/main amd64 safe-rm all

Fetched 81.8 MB in 2s (53.6 MB/s)
E: Failed to fetch
https://debian.ethz.ch/debian/pool/main/libv/libvorbis/libvorbisfile3_1.3.6-2_amd64.deb
Data left in buffer [IP: 2001:67c:10ec:3dd1::42 443]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with
--fix-missing?
I can rule out network errors, a manual curl or wget to
https://debian.ethz.ch/debian/pool/main/libv/libvorbis/libvorbisfile3_1.3.6-2_amd64.deb
for that host works.
The command issued here was and breaks like above every time I run it
(downgrading to 2.1.8 fixes it):
