checksum error - backport 0.9.9squeeze3 to maverick

[Julian Taylor]

Binary package hint: apt-offline

A bug in creating the checksum of the downloaded packages makes this package mostly unusable.
This issue has been addressed in commit http://git.debian.org/?p=apt-offline/apt-offline.git;a=commitdiff;h=151a363c525d8504eae7696da35c73b3d1978584
which is included in the version 0.9.9squeeze available in natty.

the attached debdiff includes this commit.

TEST CASE:
select an package that is not installed and make sure it is _not_ in the apt cache (/var/cache/apt/archives)
sudo apt-offline set apt-offline.sig --install-packages package-name
apt-offline get apt-offline.sig --bundle test.apt

result with patch or 0.9.9squeeze3: successful download into a temporary file

result with version 0.9.9: ERROR: universalindentgui Checksum mismatch.
ERROR: The following files failed to be downloaded.
ERROR: universalindentgui failed.

the same occurs when using apt-offline set --upgrade

reproduce by:

>apt-offline set vim.sig --install-packages vim
>apt-offline get vim.sig

  0 / 1 items: [##############################] 100.0%ERROR: vim Checksum mismatch.
  1 / 1 items: [##############################] 100.0% of 836 KiB

debdiff with backported patch

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

According to reporter, was fixed in 0.9.9squeeze3 which was in natty, natty currently has 1.0.1

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

I changed the version from 0.9.9ubuntu1 to 0.9.9ubuntu0.1, the series from maverick to maverick-proposed, and uploaded it.

Accepted apt-offline into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

thanks for uploading.
the update from maverick-proposed fixes the bug and works fine on maverick systems (i386 amd64, updates,proposed backports enabled).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package apt-offline - 0.9.9ubuntu0.1

---------------
apt-offline (0.9.9ubuntu0.1) maverick-proposed; urgency=low

  * backport checksum fix from 0.9.9squeeze3. LP: #698233
