[Aptitude-devel] Calculating old sha1sum... local file too old

Wed Jul 31 21:00:35 BST 2013

Hi all,
I dunno if this is a bug in aptitude or in /etc/apt/sources.list or
the mirror I'm downloading from or somewhere else but every time I run
update I get the following :-

Downloading Index
http://debian.ec.as6453.net/debian/dists/experimental/contrib/Contents-amd64.diff/Index:
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

Calculating old sha1sum...
local file too old

So it's coming from experimental contrib .

This is my /etc/apt/sources.list :-

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

#### testing  #########
deb http://debian.ec.as6453.net/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

 #### unstable #########
deb http://debian.ec.as6453.net/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

 #### experimental #########
deb http://debian.ec.as6453.net/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free

The mirror was the selection given to me by netselect-apt .

This is the partial output from the InRelease file I saw :-

/var/lib/apt/lists$ head -12
debian.ec.as6453.net_debian_dists_experimental_InRelease

Components: main contrib non-free

The point I want to make is that the component experimental/contrib is
valid (at least as it seems from the InRelease file).

I have removed the lists couple of times and started afresh but
everytime after the lists come I get the statement. So is this
something to do with the InRelease file or a mirror issue or something
at my end ?

I haven't filed a bug because I'm not sure whether it's a bug or an
issue at my end or something.
