Yes. Cleanup is not a requirement, just nice to prevent bloat.

Yes, apart from the index file that has failed to be refreshed

The pipe command in sub get() in apt-cacher-cleanup.pl is failing.
First I would try to get the url with wget, curl or someother browser.
If that fails, then the problem is your upstream.
If not, we will need to delve more deeply....
There ought to be a libcurl error in the error.log which says what the
error was too.
The ("cached data may be damaged") means that if the cleanup script
continues the cached files might be deleted prematurely rather than the
cache is damaged as it stands.
