Incorrect format of Date field in Release file
dodizzle opened this issue · comments
- What are you trying to do?
Install debian package from nexus with hosted apt repo.
- What feature or behavior is this required for?
In order to fetch debian packages that have been uploaded to a hosted apt repo.
- How could we solve this issue? (Not knowing is okay!)
According to this document https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Format#Date.2C_Valid-Until
The format of the Date field in the Release file needs to be in UTC format.
Currently it is in GMT format.
The error I receive when attempting to fetch a package from the hosted apt repo is " Unknown date format Bad header data".
From my Release file:
"Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2019 21:17:42 GMT"
- Anything else?
I am not fluent in java but after looking at the source code I believe this file will need to be edited to set the date format to UTC.
