Description Forgotten User sxozS5NPY1 2006-09-21 08:50:21 UTC

When data is corrupted in the cache (e.g. because of wrong metadata on some server), the metadata is not downloaded in the next run (becuase it may be fixed) but read from the cache where it's ALWAYS corrupted. So the only way is to manually delete the cache to solve the problem.

the stacktrace shows it already fails on reading the cache.

Comment 2 Forgotten User hF2Xo_CmFP 2006-09-22 11:15:10 UTC

there was a update off smart true apt-get, but the problems are still there.

Comment 3 Christoph Thiel 2006-11-12 16:16:53 UTC

Something for the 10.3 timeframe.

Comment 4 Christoph Thiel 2007-02-16 12:47:33 UTC

Closing as LATER for now. Needs to be fixed upstream.

Comment 5 Bugzilla Account Maintenance 2008-09-02 18:07:46 UTC

Because the LATER and REMIND resolutions have been removed, the resolution of this bug has changed from LATER to WONTFIX. If this bug needs to be reconsidered, reopen it and set a future "Target Milestone for Fix."
