Comment 4 for bug 1921626

> I've attached an example log, where the error pops up for multiple packages, and they all appear to be compared to one size (86464 bytes).

just for the record: This is a misunderstanding. If apt does pipelining it searches in the requests it made for the file this response is for. If no request matches the size the error shows the last tried size (aka of the last file in the queue).

I wonder a bit why Filesize isn't included in the message as internally it is implemented as a (very weak) hash, but that might be due to the apt version… I am not remembering ATM how it worked back then.

I am also a bit worried about the screenshot in the referred bugreport as that shows two different servers replying (Apache vs some python via a proxy).

And last not least: The sizes given in the HTTP request logs for python3-zmq (which failed in that example) shown in /var/log/httpd/foreman_access.log and /var/log/messages do not match (254232 vs 254454).
