Snapshots of apt proxy repositories do not contain 'i18n' and 'dep11' folders for each distribution


that leads to the errors of sudo apt-get update:

E: Failed to fetch https://mydomain:8443/repository/apt-proxy-bionic/snapshots/release5/dists/bionic/main/dep11/icons-48x48.tar

@dmitro.biz are you still able to use snapshots of apt proxy repos?
It doesn’t work for me. The snapshots are there, I can see them like you do in the screenshot but the client reports

E: Failed to fetch https://foo.com/nexus/repository/xenial-security-proxy/snapshots/2021-05-27/dists/xenial-security/main/dep11/icons-64x64.tar  404  Not Found
E: Failed to fetch https://foo.com/nexus/repository/xenial-updates-proxy/snapshots/2021-05-27/dists/xenial-updates/main/dep11/icons-64x64.tar  404  Not Found
E: Failed to fetch https://foo.com/nexus/repository/xenial-proxy/snapshots/2021-05-27/dists/xenial/main/dep11/Components-arm64.yml  404  Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

and the repo can’t be used at all. If I don’t use snapshots but the actual repo, everything works well

Hi @Hilikus!
Sorry for late answer:
I still able to use apt proxy actual repos, but not snapshots, precisely like you wrote above.
Regards!

p.s. I will be very grateful if you share a solution to this issue, when you find it.
Thanks

Hi @dmitro.biz
I don’t have a solution. I think it’s a bug
I opened https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-27723 for this. You should upvote it to increase its priority
