[Apt-proxy-users] apt-proxy and proposed-updates .deb's

[Athanasius <Ath...@mi...>]

Hi,
  I've just this moment finished wrestling apt-proxy.conf and
sources.list into co-operating with each other and ran into one small
problem.

  It seems anything listed under proposed-updates thinks its in a path
like:

	/pool/main/z/zsh/zsh-doc_3.1.9.dev8-6_all.deb

when, er, it isn't.  As such I added this quick hack into apt-proxy, I
know this can be done better (like just testing in the *.deb case for
instance, so no duplication of code).  Hopefully the apt-proxy guys will
put some proper fix in for this in the next release.  Ah another little
fixette to save having to setup the base directories snuck into the diff
too, namely -p on mkdir:
