Bug#385961: apt-cacher: Patch to not store Index files that got a 404

[Tim Dijkstra (tdykstra)]

Package: apt-cacher
Tags: patch
Followup-For: Bug #385961

I made a simple patch that makes apt-cacher not cache Index files
that triggered an 404. This way the clean-up cron job won't find
thw empty and useless files and can continue cleaning.
