Well. To be honest, I don't care any more. Every time I tried apt-proxy, something was broken. Either completely, or in some important functions (import). And the current versions sometimes choosed to redownload some packages, sometimes not. And sometimes apt-get detects broken MD5 checksums. Sorry, but that seems not to be a robust piece of software. Any my pythonish was not good enough to understand the code (or maybe it was not me?!). I gave it up. OTOH I am biassed. In the meantime I completed my apt-cacher package with the features and I that is what I recommend now instead of apt-proxy. It is simplier by designer, does not provide all the corner-case features but should be more robust. Oh, and it runs about 8-10 times faster than apt-proxy on our slower internet proxy and it is not a RAM issue AFAICS. Regards, Eduard. -- Kleini: Dann mußt Du da den Fokus reinschieben.
