Hello,
   Will one of the Debian experts please help sort a bit of confusion here.
I have been using apt-proxy to try to reduce my downloads from the web, and
it has worked very well in the past. There is now a pair of files called
/Release and /Release.gpg present on the main mirror sites, and these are
replaced from time to time. The latest update was yesterday.
   I have had previous problems as all boxes complained repeatedly about the
Release.gpg file provided by my apt-proxy, then ignored the apt-proxy and
collected their updates from the main mirrors, but I thought this problem
had cleared. The latest problem does appear to have sorted itself by just
re-running aptitude. I run aptitude most days on each local box to collect
any updates, and each box complained a couple of times just after the files
were updated, then settled down again.
   The two files are totally replaced, there is no "previous version" within
the replacements. Are all the packages on each mirror site signed or
modified to reflect the contents of these two files, so that all the files
held in my apt-proxy must be replaced at the same time?
