[Apt-proxy-users] apt-proxy-import failure

[David B. <da...@ba...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get aprt-proxy running on my home network, but am having
problems. I'm using Debian/Sarge and apt-proxy 1.9.25.

Thanks to Chris Halls' README [0], I've got to the point where I want to
import my existing package cache into the a-p cache, but
apt-proxy-import fails, as follows:

blue:/var/cache# apt-proxy-import -i /var/cache/apt/archives/
Updating twisted's process module.
No updating required.
Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/usr/sbin/apt-proxy-import", line 69, in ?
       factoryConfig(factory)
     File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/apt_proxy/apt_proxy_conf.py",
line 141, in factoryConfig
       factory.addBackend(backend)
AttributeError: DummyFactory instance has no attribute 'addBackend'


What would be the best way of getting a-p running?
    1) Some fix for a-p 1.9.x (I don't know any Python but should be able
to have a stab at it)
    2) Manually copy my existing cache (would this work?)
    3) Revert to v1.3.0
    4) Other?

Any suggestions would be appreiciated.

Cheers,
Dave.

I've uploaded 1.9.27 which fixes this among other bugs.  I noticed there is 
still a bug which is making a-p-i not work immediately.  If your databases 
were recreated for some reason, and then you run apt-get update yet there are 
no new Packages file, they will not get registered in the database and a-p-i 
will not be able to search them to find out where to place the packages.  You 
will get the message 'No suitable backend found'.

Solutions:

1. Wait for a day until an apt-get update gets new Packages
or 2. Delete all the Packages files: 
  sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt-proxy/debian/dists
  ..and then rerun apt-get update
  (not tested)

I tried 2 and it didn't work, so I'll leave it and try again tommorrow.

Cheers,
