The patch appears to have involved adding a clause to the /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher script (at line 540 in my copy of version 1.6.4) which checks based on the following condition: ($filename =~ /^(?:vmlinuz|initrd\.gz)$/) However, attempting to create a clean Debian Live Lenny image including the Lenny installer results in the error: http://nestor:3142/debian//dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images//netboot/debian-installer/i386/linux: 2010-07-09 14:10:37 ERROR 403: Sorry, not allowed to fetch that type of file: linux. E: Could not download file: http://nestor:3142/debian//dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images//netboot/debian-installer/i386/linux It appears that the Debian Installer is now using the name "linux" rather than the name "vmlinuz". Adding this name to the above condition to get ($filename =~ /^(?:linux|vmlinuz|initrd\.gz)$/) and restarting apt-cacher seems to have worked for me. This problem also seems to exist in 1.6.11 in Sid at the moment. Can this fix be applied to mainstream? On a slightly more wishlist-y note, it would be nice for apt-cacher to use a configuration file for these filenames rather than a hardcoded regexp. That way, I could edit something in /etc to fix this if it comes up again as opposed to editing something in /usr/share.
