This bugg might affect or have it's source in another package. I just putted it where I found the troubble. Feel free to change if you like. (This might affect unattended-upgrades as well, i don't know.)
I will first tell what I found, and then what I expect instead. Last of all, a workaround.
PROBLEM
I'm running a fulle updated Saucy 13.10, with critical and recomended repos enabled. Not backports or proposed.
update-manager version 1:0.194.1
I have lately found out about the apt-build package. When I install that package it also installs several others. It also, this is crucial, ads a line in the sources list. But there is no change in /etc/apt/sources.list. (Suprinsing) So the change is made somewere else thats affects the sources-manager. The new row is "file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository". I don't know where the actual addition is made, but it's visible in tha update-manager-GUI.
This new line complicates thing. When I run update-manager it complains that it couls not "download" all files, and quits. If I uncheck that line in the sources-manager, then the software-updater works as normal again. The error message looks like this:
------------
"W:Failed to fetch file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/binary-i386/Packages File not found
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
-----------
WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN
I expect that the software-updater can tell difference of local and remote files, and only demand download and updated of the later. The local ones can be used as they are.
WORKAROUND
Keep the row "file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository" deactivated in sources manager. Only enable it when you are messing around with apt-build, then deactivate it again. The own-build packages doesn't seem to be classified as obolsete/local in synaptic on this account. |

I had made some new findings, and am rewriting the description accordingly. I'm not a developer and don't know how it works behind the surface. I'm using “trial and error” and tries find things out.
Please change anything according to your skills and needs.
WHERE IS THE BUG FOUND?
I think it is best to start here.
I have found this bug using Xubuntu, I guess the other flavors are affected in the same way.
I have found it in Xubuntu 12.04.3 Precise, and in 13.10 Saucy. Both 64-bit. It is likely that it affects Quantal and Raring likewise.
It do affect amd64 systems. It does not seem to affect i386. I tried at Lubuntu Saucy 32-bit as well, not problem. I can not explain why.
PROBLEM
In a fresh install av Xubuntu I have installed apt-build and its dependencies. During the installation it asks some questions. One of them is what architecture I want to build my applications for. I choose “native”, there is also generic and a couple of specified. Another question is about putting a line in the sources list, wich should be necessary if you want to install the compiled packages with apt. I accepted. (Sadly, I don't remember the exact words, it might be important. English is not my primary language.)
I have disabled proposed and backport repos, and after this I have updated the sources cache with the update-manager-GUI. It then showed this error message:
------------
"W:Failed to fetch file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/binary-i386/Packages File not found
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
-----------
Note that the path in the error message point at a i386-folder! (The machine is amd64.)
If I inspect the file /etc/apt/sources.list, there is nothing related to the path mentioned in the error message. It seems untouched. This means that apt-build did not add a line there, it added the line somewhere else. I do not know where. It is visible in the sources-manager-GUI, and can be checked and unchecked. (Unchecked it does not generate this error.)
If I use the terminal and am running apt-get update I face the same problem. In the output, there is two error messages.
–---------------
user@computer:~$ sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for user:
Ign file: apt-build InRelease
Ign file: apt-build Release.gpg
Get:1 file: apt-build Release [107 B]
Err file: apt-build/main i386 Packages

W: Failed to fetch file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/binary-i386/Packages File not found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
user@computer:~$ sudo apt-get update > /home/user/upgrade.txt
W: Failed to fetch file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/binary-i386/Packages File not found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
---------------
By now it is obvious that the problem is not related to the GUI.
Note that in all error messages it is asked for an i386 folder. But the line I can see in update-manager only specifies "file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository", nothing about either i386 or amd64. That direction is chosen somewhere else. And that seems to be whats going wrong!
FOLDER STRUCTURE
If I am looking in the folder "file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository", it looks like this:
-----ls output-------
dists [folder]
gthumb_3.0.2-0ubuntu3+aptbuild1_amd64.deb
gthumb-data_3.0.2-0ubuntu3+aptbuild1_all.deb
gthumb-dbg_3.0.2-0ubuntu3+aptbuild1_amd64.deb
gthumb-dev_3.0.2-0ubuntu3+aptbuild1_amd64.deb
Packages.gz
Release
----------------------
If I continue down the path according to the error messages, I find a folder: “/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/binary-amd64/” This is likely to be the correct path.
CONCLUSION
Either apt-build, or the update programs is getting something wrong. I can't tell wish of them.
Apt-get is correctly creating a local repository for the chosen architecture, but does not seem able to communicate it to the update programs. Or, it might as well bu that is informed correctly, but the update programs is reading it wrong.
WORKAROUND
My previous workaround did remove the error messages, but did not solve the problem. Therefore removed. It was wrong. |
