Problem:
After upgrading to the latest releases and migrating the Ubuntu repositories from Pulp2 to Pulp3, some packages are reporting no size information. I re-synched the repos and updated the Content. I get this when I try to do an upgrade on an Ubuntu 20.04 client:
sudo apt upgrade

The following NEW packages will be installed:
distro-info libevdev2 libimobiledevice6 libplist3 libupower-glib3 libusbmuxd6 upower usbmuxd
The following packages will be upgraded:

Description: provides information about the distributions' releases
Expected outcome:
No errors
Foreman and Proxy versions:
Foreman v2.5.2
Proxy v2.5.2
Additional Info: It has been fixed in the most recent release of pulp_deb, but it has not yet been back-ported to a version present in Katello, and there have been some reports of problems installing the new version with the latest release of pulpcore. I will try to remember to post an update if I have anything new.
This feels like a different issue. Even disabling the pipelining, I still get the issue on my clients. The bug you point to shows unexpected size, this is NO SIZE.

It is the same issue (perhaps different manifestations). The pulp_deb implementation without the fix does not publish the required Size field in package indices it generates at all. The solution is to wait for the fix.
I suspect a newer version of Ubuntu has become more strict/explicit about demanding the Size field. We have always had this bug in the Pulp 3 version of pulp_deb, but recently lots of users have “suddenly” noticed.
No, it’s the same issue. I’m stupid. The workaround alone would no longer work now that warnings/errors have been implemented in apt. Try apt -oAcquire::AllowUnsizedPackages=1 -oAcquire::http::Pipeline-Depth=0 install ...
