[Bug 355031] [NEW] Apt-proxy fails after first connection

[Russel Winder]

Public bug reported:

Apt-proxy used to work fine.  at some time in teh last few weeks there
has been a change soemwhere in the system such that it no longer works
as it should.

After a restart:


root at dimen:~# /etc/init.d/apt-proxy restart
 * Stopping apt-proxy                                                                                                                                                            [ OK ]

The first connection from a client proceeds fine, everything seems as it should be, working correctly.  However on any subsequent connections, some of the Ubuntu repositories fail.

This happens using Aptitude or Upgrade Manager.  Upgrade Manager gives
apparently more detailed information, claiming that certain Package.gz
files are not available.  Clearly they are available so the problem is
not with the repository.  I don't think apt-proxy has changed recently
though clearly there are now Twisted problems where there didn't used to
be.

I cannot remember if the proxy ever worked after the start of the
appearance of the startup error messages -- I have no written data and
my memory is hazy on order of events.

This really needs fixing before the shift to Jaunty so that people with
many Ubuntu boxes don't have to download vast amount individually for
every machine.
