Yes, but debconf is on this week and I'm not checking all mailing lists
regularly.

Please post the output in /var/log/apt-proxy.log.  If there is none, try
following this advice in the README:

Q: A connection cannot be established with apt-proxy on a remote machine.
   Nothing appears in the apt-proxy.log file.

A: apt-proxy is run by tcpd, which may deny connections depending on how it is
   set up.  If a connection is denied by tcpd, you will find a log message in
   /var/log/daemon.log such as:
       apt-proxy[nnnn]: refused connect from <hostname>

   You should check /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny.  For example, the standard
   ALL: PARANOID in /etc/hosts.deny will deny acess to clients whose hostname
   cannot be looked up.

If that doesn't help, double check that your inetd really is running.

Hope that helps
Chris
