Yes, I think so. When (approximately!) was your original apt-cacher install? I wonder if it was before the option to run as www-data was introduced. That was also before I was maintainer and I don't have the sources, so I am a bit in the dark. Judging from the changelog that was before version 0.9..... If so, I suspect that you had root:root /var/cache/apt-cacher from the original install, and it has only become an issue on upgrade from 1.6.4 to 1.6.12 which need to create the socket there and runs as www-data by default. It may also be that the socket would be better in /var/run, but that is a separate issue really. Your workaround of chown www-data:www-data /var/cache/apt-cacher is fine as far as I know and is the way a new installation will be. I will work a patch to check ownership and also consider the location of the socket. Cheers Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
