[Apt-proxy-users] endless recycling

[Jonathan K. <jk...@cs...>]

I'm running 1.9.24 on debian.

I run apt-poxy on both my laptop and a server.  I recently moved the cache 
from the laptop to the server by simply tarring up /var/cache/apt-proxy, 
transfering it, and then untaring it.  This was a 1.1 gig tranfer.

The problem I'm having is that when apt-proxy starts on the server it 
spends hours and hours recycling, and whenever apt-proxy restarts, the 
entire process starts all over again.  Furthermore, I believe that this 
recycling is the cause of the "503 Service Unavailable" I receive when I 
try and access the cache through apt.

I used to be able to simply untar .debs into the cache with no problems 
back when apt-cache was a bash script.  I have two questions.  First, 
what's causing this?  It looks like a permissions problem, but the 
permissions look fine.  My second question is why is a this database 
needed when it wasn't before, and why does it take 2-3 seconds to recycle 
each file?

Thanks.

Here's the part of log:
