error= no files in .../Sources.gz

[ChrisChoke]

Hey,

I've got an error while mirroring the debian buster repo.

2020-04-16T19:54:42.020106Z goaptmirror go-apt-mirror error: "update failed" error="debian: no Files in dists/buster-updates/main/source/Sources.gz"
2020-04-16T19:54:42.020187Z goaptmirror go-apt-mirror error: "debian: no Files in dists/buster-updates/main/source/Sources.gz"

My mirror.toml:

# Directory to store mirrored files and other control files.
# The directory must be writable by go-apt-mirror.
dir = "/mnt/mirror"

# Maximum concurrent connections for an upstream server.
# Setting this 0 disables limit on the number of connections.
# Default: 10
max_conns = 10

# log specifies logging configurations.
# Details at https://godoc.org/github.com/cybozu-go/well#LogConfig
[log]
level = "info"
format = "plain"
#filename = "go-apt-mirror.log"

# [mirror.xxx] defines a mirror configuration for a debian repository.
# "xxx" must match this regexp: ^[a-z0-9_-]+$
#
# url:           The repository base URL.
# suites:        List of suites to mirror.  see sources.list(5).
# sections:      List of sections to mirror.  see sources.list(5).
# mirror_source: true to mirror source archives.  Default is false.
# architectures: List of architectures to mirror.  "all" is always mirrored.
[mirror.debian]
url = "http://debian.uni-duisburg-essen.de/debian"
suites = ["stretch", "stretch-updates", "buster", "buster-updates"]
sections = ["main"]
mirror_source = true
architectures = ["amd64"]

#[mirror.ubuntu]
#url = "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"
#suites = ["bionic", "bionic-updates"]
#sections = ["main"]
#mirror_source = false
#architectures = ["amd64"]

[mirror.security]
url = "http://security.debian.org/debian-security"
suites = ["buster/updates"]
sections = ["main"]
mirror_source = true
architectures = ["amd64"]

So with the security repo its run fine. In the buster, buster-updates repo go-apt-mirror stops with the error above. But only if i set the "source = true". When source = false, go-apt mirror download the 78Gb repo. But the terminal output show me a lot of "missing file" like:

2020-04-16T19:54:41.910018Z goaptmirror go-apt-mirror warning: "missing file" path="dists/buster-updates/main/Contents-udeb-mips" repo="debian"

2020-04-16T19:54:41.914372Z goaptmirror go-apt-mirror warning: "missing file" path="dists/buster-updates/contrib/Contents-udeb-i386" repo="debian"

this output i get always when i start go-apt-mirror. What do this mean? This warning give me the feeling that anything isnt right. i am not sure. I use the 1.4.1 release. This is my first issue. so i hope i make it right :-)

best regards Chris

[ChrisChoke]

hey there,

i tried for the last time. i hope anyone can answer my questions from the first post. its a really nice project, but it needs reasonable support. i really hope there is any activity on this project. @ymmt2005

a liitle output in debug mode. the misisng files comes from the 404 http error. but you can see, with wget i get the file where i tried on. so the file is on the online-mirror. dont know why the http status returns 404.

@ChrisChoke I'm not maintaining this repository right now. will check the current status with my colleagues.

[Hsn723]

@ChrisChoke We haven't encountered the issue you reported in our day to day operations and do not have the bandwidth to investigate your issue, but you are welcome to submit a pull request.

[ChrisChoke]

@Hsn723

Well I would love to support but I am not really a developer. Can you share you're mirror.toml? I don't understand the issue, because on Debian buster security-repo I can download the source too and it seems on Ubuntu bionic,too. If I understand the error message right, the script don't find a file in the in the gzip after decompress. But why? If you download manually, the file exist. Maybe you can give some hints and tips to debug and I will try my best.

[Hsn723]

@ChrisChoke Our internal settings file is not something I can share. From a quick look at your config and logs, it seems you are using third party repositories. These may be badly configured (and therefore unsupported) as outlined in #27

[ChrisChoke]

@Hsn723

thank you for your hint. i tried a couple of servers. but all runs end with no file in source.gz. the mirror in my config is an official debian repo. look here: https://www.debian.org/mirror/list i tried following mirrors. all with the same result.

ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/ ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ debian.uni-duisburg-essen.de ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de and some from france: debian.apt-mirror.de ftp.fr.debian.org

so i think there were a lot of servers with wrong config. its really weird, because the security debian repo works fine. so they are different in some cases.
