   Apt-proxy does have advantages over other alternatives because it is able
to collect files from a list of alternative mirrors, in list order, so that
I can specify a preference for fast academic or other non-debian mirrors
with fallback to Debian sites.
   I think I have identified the problem through error messages from
aptitude; apt-proxy saves the files in /var/cache/apt-proxy with owner
aptproxy:nogroup and permissions 700, but tries to read the Release and
Release.gpg files from /var/lib/apt which is owned by root:root and without
access permission. Unfortunately I have not yet been able to trace the
reason, and have not found any trace of that address in apt-proxy. Someone
must be doing some work on apt-proxy as there was a recent update, but the
problem remains. I have loaded all the old files into apt-cacher, which is
working, while I reload the relatively new box that I hope will evetually
work as a server.
