I wonder why this was assigned to me? Reassigning to Matthias who is more likely to be able to say something about freshrpms.net mirrors... Well, this problem is know, and I don't have any magic solution for it. The problem is that the apt metadata is generated on a private mirror server, then sent to the main ayo.freshrpms.net server, which is ftp.heanet.ie currently. But that public server seems to sync Fedora updates less often than the private server, so apt ends up telling you that updates are available, although they aren't yet in reality. The best long term solution to this problem is to have apt use repomd metadata and rely on the main Fedora generated metadata instead of on the one generated "off site", since it'll always be in sync with the packages actually present on the server. I'm going to resolve this bug as DEFERRED, as : - It is not directly related to Fedora packages or Fedora infrastructures - The proper fix will be to have an apt package that supports repomd, which will luckily happen some day, since Panu has been working on it. |
