Hi! I trying create mirror for official ubuntu repository: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ After creation on my test Ubuntu server i see error:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Subject changed from CNF not found in Ubuntu cloned repository to Add support for Ubuntu comand-not-found (CNF) indices

It looks like Commands-amd64 is a new type of metadata file used by Ubuntu repos, that pulp_deb does not currently support. (This is the first time I have heard of this type of file.)

As such, this ticket is essentially a feature request, and I have reformulated it as such!

Note: I have found the following statement regarding this feature: "Starting with Ubuntu Focal (20.04), the APT client expects APT sources to provide command-not-found (cnf) metadata files."

There are three different meta data types not being sync’d as of Ubuntu 20.04:

cnf - command-not-found (apt purge command-not-found will remove this)
i11n - translation files (echo ‘Acquire::Languages "none";’ > /etc/apt.conf.d/99translations)
appstream - (apt purge appstream will remove but it disables installs from GUI app store)

I included how to work around if you are okay with forgoing apt install recommendations with cnf, translation files with i11n, and App Store installs with appstream.
