Comment 3 for bug 109294

The range can still an issue. If the list file changes in such a way that it can't be resumed the next time an apt-get update is run (such as a reordering of the contents), I believe it will fail in the same way. The https method probably needs to handle the case of the web server ignoring the range request for situations where it can't honor it for this circumstance, or someone will have to go in and remove the partial file for things to start working again.

No?
