[Wessel van Norel (delgurth)]

I've tried changing cache.py so that not only Packages.bz2 is accepted as filetype, but all .bz2 packages. But that resulted in:

[CacheEntry] download_failure /var/cache/apt-proxy/security/dists/etch/updates/non-free/i18n/Translation-en_IE.bz2: (404) file not found on backend

I'll try to investigate this later on.

[Lionel Dricot (ploum-deactivatedaccount)]

I confirm this bug in Hardy

[Derek Kaye (kayedj)]

Confirmed in Intrepid

[Andrew Sharpe (andrew-sharpe-79)]

This also exists in hardy jeos - would love to get a fix.

These patches have not solved the issue for me,

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=484331
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503923

I get the 404 as describe above with the patches

[Andrew Sharpe (andrew-sharpe-79)]

The workaround I'm using is taken from

  http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/729183.html

Just run the update as follows (all one line, minus the #)

  # LANG= LANGUAGE= apt-get update

Problem gone :)
