Package: devuan-project
Severity: important

I use approx to mediate access to the devuan repositories, and to cache
files for machines without a direct connection to the outside world.

approx incorrectly parses the lines in InRelease and fails to provide
the files to clients. I think I have found that the reason why approx
has problems is because devuan's InRelease files have two spaces at the
beginning of each line, while InRelease files for other debian-based
distributions only have one.

Depending on what the InRelease file specification is, the problem lies
either with the devuan formatting of InRelease files or approx.

I also noticed that the InRelease file for jessie-updates has a missing
newline before MD5Sum:
Components: main contrib non-freeMD5Sum:
  b195b097a2a4353f58cf73cebbc17062      520
non-free/binary-amd64/Packages.xz

The dates for this file are as follows:
Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 01:31:27 UTC
Valid-Until: Mon, 22 May 2017 01:31:27 UTC

Michael.
