Package: apt Version: 2.6.1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Dear Maintainer, I created my own private apt repository: apt downloads the InRelease file but it never downloads the Packages.gz file and there is no error reported: $ sudo apt update Get:1 http://nasdev/debian bookworm InRelease [750 B] Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates InRelease Hit:4 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports InRelease Hit:5 http://security.debian.org bookworm-security InRelease Hit:7 https://github.armbian.com/configng stable InRelease Hit:6 http://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/beta bookworm InRelease Fetched 750 B in 3s (216 B/s) Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done 6 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them. Because I created the repository and wrote the web server, I believe that something is wrong (or missing) either in the header attributes returned by the web server or in the content of the InRelease file. I would have expected apt to generate an error if it decides to not accept the InRelease file. I signed the InRelease file, and copied the public key exported (using gpg --armor --export) to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d on the client side. I checked the signature of the InRelease file using "gpg --verify" and it reports "Good signature". I tried deleting the downloaded InRelease (in /var/lib/apt/lists): no improvement. I made a change to one package, which changed the SHA256 checksum of the Packages.gz file, and ran "sudo apt update" again: no improvement. Below is a capture of a complete exchange between apt and the web server: GET /debian/dists/bookworm/InRelease HTTP/1.1 Host: nasdev Cache-Control: max-age=0 Accept: text/* If-Modified-Since: Wed, 06 Aug 2025 03:09:30 GMT User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (2.6.1) HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 750 Last-Modified: Wed, 06 Aug 2025 05:32:33 GMT Content-Type: text/plain Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2025 05:33:53 GMT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Origin: House Label: House Suite: stable Version: 12.11 Codename: bookworm Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2025 05:32:27 +0000 Architectures: all armhf Components: main Description: The House software suite repository MD5Sum: e3d6d343691931a1732d4a06255d0ee5 1996 main/binary-armhf/Packages.gz SHA1: 52e598660bab00a4cfe9dd60439c947db126c8e5 1996 main/binary-armhf/Packages.gz SHA256: a9171fbbb7b49c56050b11f1746b470b3de6527989dba506a59461f35439b10a 1996 main/binary-armhf/Packages.gz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEAREIAB0WIQSnY4oaVzPFG5d7rCkH+pWbk/eRrAUCaJLo6wAKCRAH+pWbk/eR rKDrAP47zO/r86AnWKur9Y9UZmD/CKxDuc1GlCRhIX/G1nB0IQD/RSCLraOLo2uw pqyYYCGGNRdXv91q2OB3RU1EmGMw6x8= =nOBc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "armhf"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "0"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Sandbox ""; APT::Sandbox::User "_apt"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-[a-z0-9]*$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image-[a-z0-9]*-[a-z0-9]*$"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages ""; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "linux-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "kfreebsd-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: "gnumach-.*"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-modules"; APT::VersionedKernelPackages:: ".*-kernel"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "tasks"; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections ""; APT::Move-Autobit-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.
