Unfortunately, apt-get does not always tell the truth here. For volatile
files, it appends .{.xz,bz2,gz} and attempts to download that version,
but it displays only the base path in error messages.
If you want to know what it requested, please have a look for similarly
named file(s) in /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher.log .
Please send me a copy of this file and it's recent backup versions if the
file was rotated by logrotate already.

If you remember, there is a short-living cache for the state of the
volatile files (introduced to avoid DOS-like access to a single mirror).
This cache might explain the "not always" fact.

Not really a solution.

Actually, I have seen such symptoms while looking for a bug that
returned pointless error messages, but I assumed that it should be fixed
in 0.7.4. There were a couple of fixes partially related to that problem
in 0.7.5 but it simply doesn't explain the reappearence of this problem.
This whole issue is bizarre. Could you try another backend mirror, maybe
http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu or
http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ?
Regards,
Eduard.
