A file patch-fetchmsttfonts.sh-4347.xml doesn't exist on the download
server. What I do find is patch-fetchmsttfonts.sh-4825.xml. (Never
mind.)
We indeed refrain from redirects for .xml files -- but only in the
/distribution tree. In the /update tree however, we obey a different
regime; there we refrain from redirects for files whose names do not
contain numbers.
ZrkadloExcludeFileMask "/[^0-9]*$"
</Directory>
The file in question has numerals though, so we were treating it like
"if a mirror has a file named like this, we trust its freshness"
which works fine for RPM packages, because their name is altered
which each change (rebuild). The patch-FOO-nnn.xml files do not fit
the bill however, as it seems.
As a consequence, I will exclude them from redirecting from now on.
This is going to fix the issue, as far as I can see.
If however the filenames are supposed to changes as in rpm rebuilds,
then the seen behaviour might show a bug in the update process, which
ought to be fixed.
