Because at that time, amd64 was not available from official mirrors (the port for sarge was inofficial and provided from a different debian.net domain). > As I understand it, a single backend like > > [debian] > backends = > http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian > http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian > min_refresh_delay = 1d > > does support all architectures. All official architectures, yes. But the situation may arise again, e.g. for one of the *bsds or hurd. I think there was a recent thread on debian-release (or something in debian-devel-anounce, I cannot remember offhand). > And when you use on both the i386 client and the amd64 client > the same backend, then knows apt-proxy the same common file is wanted. Only if there is indeed the same backend. > Please verify this, and provide feedback to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No (with etch) I do have a single backend, as amd64 is no an official architecture in Debian. So, unfortunately, testing something is no longer possible (at least not from me, see above, and maybe ask someone with an inofficial port if he could test this).
