Bug Description
[Impact]
In some cases, apt does not correctly handle server-side connection closure after a pipeline, and aborts the file being downloaded with an "Undetermined Error" when the connection has been closed.
[Test case]
This could be seen by running apt build-dep evince on cosmic with a recent apt with the pipelining fix (such as 1.6.6) against a local mirror running apache from trusty. It remains to be seen whether this is easily reproducible for anyone.
[Regression potential]
N/A yet.

It's unclear if xenial's apt is affected or not, we did not get to testing that yet.
