I've configured a ubuntu mirror server using apt-mirror/apache2 on Ubuntu 20.04.
I'm auto installing some machines to deploy a minimal set of the OS, then rely on Ansible to deploy some specific packages.
Installation fails because apt-get cannot get the complete list of packages : some downloads from the local mirror are "tagged" with 206 partial content making the package donwload unsuccessful and thus breaks the deployment of packages through Ansible playbooks.
As an example, here are some 206 error codes from an 'apt-get ubuntu-desktop' :

Ansible errror are like :
E: Failed to fetch http://192.168.7.200/mirror/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gtkglext/libgtkglext1-dev_1.2.0-9_amd64.deb
But the file is downloadable when opening the link in web navigator.
Initially, I was deploying 'ubuntu-desktop' and 'build-essential' during the autoinstall step by adding a 'packages:' directive to my user-data, but this problem of partial content error code was braking systematically the autoinstall process.
Any hint really appreciated !
Best regards
José
