- this is over https so there should be no proxy in the way
- it is getting a 200 response for the gpg file with the correct size (316 bytes)
- it's sending a conditional request for the Release file:
deleting the 0-byte file from my cache gets things unjammed.
So, I'm not sure:
* if, perhaps as part of bug 807303, Launchpad is ever disconnected before serving the files, things could be getting stuck here
* conversely perhaps it's a bug in apt that it's caching a failed download, or not using a stronger cache validator
some debugging in apt:
