Hi Jason, Actually, its a bug the version of apt-proxy you have. The file that is requested is actually a link to the file in pool, and the rsync command that apt-proxy uses copies the link instead of the file. You have a couple of options: * Update apt-proxy to 1.3.2, which fixes the bug, and is mainly bug fixes, so a good idea anyway * Switch your backend to http instead of rsync. This is a good idea too, because it is quicker than rsync. The default apt-proxy.conf has rsync for historical reasons :) add_backend /security/ \ $APT_PROXY_CACHE/security/ \ http://security.debian.org/ HTH, Chris
