Downloaded and installed packages from Maverick. Dependencies were internal to the Squid packaging. Package is working find including supporting IPv6 proxying. The apt-show-versions report seems to indicate that they have the same content.

Added repository but can't access PGP key DEB692A9AAC7706F is unavailable to verify the key. I am still trying to enable the repository.

[Bill Thor (billthor)]

Availability of an IPv6 capable web proxy soon is important. IPv6 will be here before the next LTS release.

Finally manually added the PGP key and got the repository to work. Downgraded from Maverick version to Lucid backports-testing version.

Added repository file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backporttesting.list containing.

  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-backports-testers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

Added key using the command

  apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys AAC7706F

Browsing using Squid3 works well. http://test-ipv6.com/ reports 10/10 (ipv4) and 9/10 (ipv6). Lost point is DNS issue not browser issue.

Setting confirmed based on positive feedback

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Thanks for the request.

squid has many reverse depends (apt-cache rdepends squid) — have you tested any of these against the backported version?

[Evan Broder (broder)]

As Iain mentioned, squid has several reverse-dependencies:

mingo:~ evan$ chdist apt-cache lucid rdepends --no-suggests --no-conflicts --no-breaks --no-replaces --no-enhances squid
squid
Reverse Depends:
  srg
  squidtaild
 |squidguard
  squid-prefetch
  squid-deb-proxy
  sqcwa
 |jesred
  gadmin-squid
  ebox-squid
 |adzapper

All of these need to be tested against the new version of squid to ensure they still work before we can approve the backport. I'm setting this bug to Incomplete; please change it back to Confirmed once the testing has been completed.

[Evan Broder (broder)]

Err, wait, I guess this backport request is about the squid3 package? That's not particularly clear from the current bug description. I'll clarify that. Anyway, here are the reverse-dependencies that need testing:

mingo:~ evan$ chdist apt-cache lucid rdepends --no-suggests --no-conflicts --no-breaks --no-replaces --no-enhances squid3 squid3-dbg squid3-common squidclient squid-cgi
squid-cgi
Reverse Depends:
squid3
Reverse Depends:
  squidguard
  squid3-dbg
  jesred
squid3-common
Reverse Depends:
  squid3
squid3-dbg
Reverse Depends:
