[Apt-proxy-users] 503 Service Unavailable

[Gettert, W. <Wol...@fc...>]

Hi,

I try to run apt-proxy in our company. I was successfully at home with the
same 
configuration file (apt-proxy.conf). I use apt-proxy 1.3.6.

When I try to run apt-get update on the local machine I get:

tim:/etc/apt-proxy# apt-get update
Err http://tim stable/main Packages

My /var/cache/apt-proxy.log is empty after this call of apt-get update.

The permissions of the log file are OK.
-rw-r--r--    1 aptproxy root            0 Mar  4 10:41
/var/log/apt-proxy.log

The permissions of /var/cache/apt-proxy are OK as well:

tim:/etc/apt-proxy# ls -al /var/cache/apt-proxy/

My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this
deb http://tim:9999/debian/ stable main non-free contrib

My /etc/inetd.conf looks contains this line

----------8<----

/usr/sbin/apt-proxy -l /var/log/apt-proxy.log

My /etc/apt-proxy/apt-proxy.conf looks like this (please tell me if you want
to have 
the complete file)

----------8<----

I can successfully get the files with wget like this:
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/Release

I can successfully connect to apt-proxy with 
telnet tim 9999

I see all the things I type in the telnet session in 
/var/log/apt-proxy.log

But apt-get update still fails. Has anyone a good idea what I am 
doing wrong.

Thanks for any help.
