I have a custom Debian repository deployed with no translation packages which I created using reprepro utility. Everytime apt-get update is run I see requests to i18n packages which I don't have and hence 404 is returned back to clients. This hasn't been a problem so far, but it seems like a misconfiguration issue that should be addressed.

I managed to stop apt-get from downloading all translations by putting these lines (thanks to a tip similar to this one)

Acquire::Languages {
 "none";
}

to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99languages

I want to this to work only for my repo. I've stumbled upon similar problems with setting up repository-specific proxies. These problems have been solved with adding a repository URI before "none" but this doesn't seem to do the job for Languages options.

I'll be very thankful to anyone who might recommend a proper solution.

I'm using a Debian Jessie-based distribution.

  • Are you using a custom Debian repository in Ubuntu? – ChanganAuto Mar 14 '17 at 17:40
  • @ElderGeek I'm using a modified Ubuntu, so lsb_release won't really shed any light on the problem. `lsb_release` modules are not included. Guys, correct me if I'm wrong. I guess this question could also be asked on *ServerFault* or *Unix & Linux *but I reckoned AskUbuntu is more applicable here as it's a package management issue that is relevant to Ubuntu. And therefore more people will benefit from it. – staroselskii Mar 15 '17 at 07:33
  • @staroselskii in any case, I poked around the manpage, and the only mention of server-specific settings are for http/https/ftp. – muru Mar 15 '17 at 13:33
