apt_pkg.Error: E:Invalid archive member header

[rickysarraf]

During download operation, below exception is seen.

== Acceptance criteria

• Investigate what leads to the exception apt_pkg.Error: E:Invalid archive member header

  • My wild guess is that it has to do with the binary deb package size.

• Handle the exception

  • But first action item one needs to be accomplished.
  • Also, should the exception be tagged as failed entirely ? I mean, is the payload corrupt too ?
  • Note: A few minutes after the exception, apt-offline exited clean (My prompt exit status returns clean). So highly possible that the payload is NOT corrupt.

Woohooo!!! A consecutive run resulted in no problems whatsoever. I love such bugs

• Given that this isn't a persistent oddity, consider this a minor obscure bug.
• It only happened with large size binary packages. My gut feel is that it is the proxy which abruptly returns, resulting in the error.
• I don't think it would be a wise idea to handle this exception. We really should want such exceptions reported.
