[Bug 1966092] [NEW] apt update doesn't update Packages list

[Rossen]

Public bug reported:


I'm investigating an issue where new packages in the repository are not picked up by hosts after running `apt-get update`. The repository is hosted on foreman/katello via pulp and pulp_deb. I know there have been comparability issues, but I'm not sure what is going wrong here.

There is no InRlease file (unsigned repo), but the Release file is
getting updated. However, the Packages files are not being updated
locally. See attached show how the files differ

The workaround for the moment is to delete the lists files for the
affected repository, and rerun `apt-get update`
