[Apt-proxy-users] apt-proxy-v2 package dependencies

[Mark J. T. <ma...@ti...>]

Hello,

I'm trying out apt-proxy-v2.  I was previously using apt-proxy, but it
regularly gave me errors like the following:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
Err http://packages.bentranet.net testing/main Packages
  Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

This was especially irritating as I also run cron-apt, and I was
having to manually interject more often than I would like :-)

Anyway, back to apt-proxy-v2.  Firstly, good stuff!  It seems not to
have the above problem.  I'll be keeping an eye on it's behaviour over
the next week or so, but no problems as yet! (apart from the known
problem regarding a lack of reuse of unchanged Packages files stored
in the cache).

And now a suggestion: it seems that apt-proxy-v2 depends on the
python-apt package, but the apt-proxy-v2 package does not define this
dependency.  I imagine this was an oversight, so I thought I'd better
mention it :-)

Cheers,

Mark.
