Apt proxy should possibly use Filename: entry

[jezze]

• What problem are you trying to solve?

Certain packages are not proxied correctly. For instance if you try to proxy python3-dbus from ubuntu jammy it will not download the package and cache it in the correct directory, resulting in that apt-get will give you a 404, package not found.

For instance, the correct pool directory in this case should be: /pool/main/d/dbus-python/ But I assume this is not what Nexus think since the package is named "python3-dbus" and NOT "dbus-python" so the assetPath (which i think is a concatenated path made from from properties in the control file) gives an incorrect path.

• Do you have a workaround you are using at present?

No

• What feature or behavior is this required for?

Just getting apt proxies to work for ALL packages.

• How could we solve this issue? (Not knowing is okay!)

You should probably look at the "Filename:" entry in Packages(.gz|.xz) and use that to store the package in /pool instead of creating your own path based on attributes in the package control file. Most of the time this works, but not always.

• Tell us about your Nexus Repository deployment: what version, operating system, and database are you using?

Ubuntu jammy

• Anything else?

No

@mrprescott : I think this should be considered a bug. The proxy feature should be able to proxy all apt packages.
