[Impact]
Users of apt repositories that use https will occasionally recieve an error message and not be able to update properly:
W: Size of file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.example.com_dists_precise_main_binary-amd64_Packages is not what the server reported 0 25118
This should be backported to Ubuntu precise because some companies may be delivering their internal apt repositories over SSL for security.
[Test Case]
Install apt-transport-https and setup an apt repository delivered over https. Do some updates and eventually the above error will happen.
[Regression Potential]
I've patched the Ubuntu precise version of apt and found no issues.
[Other Info]
This was reported to Debian first and is fixed in Debian unstable:
http://bugs.debian.org/705648
The maintainers of apt in Ubuntu have not yet synced this to saucy.
