Just my 2 cents: one for James, the other for Eduard.

James: Squeeze is still supported for a few more months. However we,
as package maintainers, don't always have time to fix all more or less
important bugs in oldstable. It's sometimes hard to find an
appropriate balance of our efforts between supporting oldstable/stable
on the one hand, and working on the next version of Debian on the
other hand. In this specific case, perhaps you could try backporting
apt-cacher-ng from Wheezy for Squeeze. This might be the simplest way
to solve the software error you're facing.

Eduard: it's not the user's fault if we're shipping buggy software in
a Debian distribution that is still officially supported. Assuming the
user is otherwise happy with running oldstable for some reason,
suggesting a full OS upgrade to fix a bug in one single package seems
needlessly dismissive to me.

Take care,
