Updated apt packages are available for Debian 6 LTS
Package : aptDLA 58-3: apt robustness improvements
Version : 0.8.10.3+squeeze7
Debian Bug : 710924
The recent security updates to apt make apt bug #710924 [1] much
easier to trigger. Affected users see "416 Requested Range Not
Satisfiable" errors during a apt-get update operation. With the
0.8.10.3+squeeze7 upload the fix for this error that was originally
introduced in version 0.9.12 [2] is now backported.
Cheers,
Michael
