Package: apt-cacher Version: 0.8.6 Severity: Important
Problem: apt-cacher's apache.conf is no longer loaded, because apache2 now only loads files matching "/etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf", and apt-cacher's file is /etc/apache2/conf.d/apt.cacher.
Solution: Rename /etc/apache2/conf.d/apt-cacher to /etc/apache2/conf.d/apt-cacher.conf. This should be corrected in /usr/share/apt-cacher/install.pl (and remove.pl also).
Details:
After upgrading apache2 today, apt-cacher no longer worked, giving 404 errors upon attempted access. I finally tracked it down to the new version of apache2 only loading config files matching "/etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf", whereas the old version matched "/etc/apache2/conf.d/[^.#]*". Apt-cacher installs its apache config as a symlink in /etc/apache2/conf.d/apt-cacher, which matches the old regexp but not the new one. After renaming the symlink to apt-cacher.conf and force-reload'ing apache, everything is back to normal.
I don't know if this bug should be filed against apache2 for breaking the /etc/apache2/conf.d directory, or if this was an intentional change that apt-cacher has not yet followed, and the bug belongs to apt-cacher, but I'm assuming the latter until told otherwise. I didn't see any mention of it in the apache2 changelog, but I assume it was done for a reason.

When a package is requested, the cache checks whether it already has the latest version, in which case it sends the package to the user immediately. If not, it downloads the package while streaming it to the user at the same time. A local copy is then kept for use by other users.
