Bug Description

Debian sid's apt can no-longer download some source packages, if apt-cacher-ng is enabled.

This has been fixed in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823733

The workaround in the issue works for me:

It works for me, so no, it's not the same bug.

If you have something and want it to have fixed, please report what you are really observing rather than a guessed reference to some issue.

The linked bug report perfectly describes what I am seeing, but, if you want something more specific:

On the apt-cacher-ng machine, running the attached config without the workaround, I cannot fetch .asc files, such as this one from openssl:

% curl http://localhost:3142/debian/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_1.1.0f.orig.tar.gz.asc
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"><head><title>403 Forbidden file type or location</title>
...

This is hit by "apt source" in sid. You can test this with Docker, if Docker is your thing:

# In an up to date-ish Debian Sid machine...
faux@astoria:~% docker pull debian:sid && docker run -it debian:sid

It fails, because of the above 403 from apt-cacher-ng.

You can see apt-cacher-ng logging the error in /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher.log:
