I am trying to setup apt-cacher (v1.5.3) and seem to be getting some strange results. I wonder if any apt-cacher users might enlighten me.
(1) I'm trying to do an update from a laptop connected to this server. On the laptop, using aptitude or apt-get update, both programs quit with an error "Some index files failed to download" but on the server with iptraf running, the package server is still downloading and a du in the apt-cacher/packages dir shows a steady increase in the size of the package directory. Is this normal? If so its very weird! (2) Have you found that you need to define address is allowed_hosts_6= or does =* work alright or did you use the default =fec0::/16? (3) How have you setup your servers sources.list? I saw a reference to doing deb http://127.0.0.1/package.site, but that didn't work for the server or the clients. Any/all suggestions on how to get this working would be greatly appreciated. Rsync and dpkg -i xxxx work but are a bit time consuming. I read "allowed_hosts=" as "allowed_clients=". Do you?
