RE: [Apt-proxy-users] 404 is not serviced by this server

Hi Michael,

Your /etc/apt/sources.list looks similar to mine:

# woody - stable
deb http://localhost:9999/debian   woody         main contrib non-free
deb http://localhost:9999/non-US   woody/non-US  main contrib non-free
deb http://localhost:9999/security woody/updates main contrib non-free

When I debug problem with apt-proxy, I comment out these lines and try
something very simple like:

deb http://localhost:9999/debian woody main

This way it's easier to understand the output of apt-get and the apt-proxy
log.

I've been using apt-proxy for a while now and have customised my
apt-proxy.conf file.  I'm not sure what is contained in the current default
apt-proxy.conf file but mine contains:

add_backend /debian/                                    \
        $APT_PROXY_CACHE/debian/                        \
        ftp.au.debian.org::debian/                      \
        ftp.debian.org::debian/

add_backend /non-US/                                    \
        $APT_PROXY_CACHE/non-US/                        \
        ftp.au.debian.org::debian-non-us/               \
        non-us.debian.org::debian-non-US/

add_backend /security/                                  \
        $APT_PROXY_CACHE/security/                      \
        ftp.au.debian.org::debian-security/             \
        security.debian.org::debian-security/           \
        non-us.debian.org::debian-security/

An important issue here is that you can't have comments in a add_backend
statement.

What is in your /var/log/apt-proxy.log?

Cheers,
Roland.
