This particular problem is very hard to solve, and I don't think it is worth 
spending time trying to do this.

Your configuration as shown should work... but only if a-p has been running 
for a whole day. Try setting cleanup_freq to something small so the cleanup 
cycle is started quickly, e.g. 30m.

Alternatively, use a find command to remove the files from the cache:

find /var/cache/apt-proxy/* -amin +1440 -exec rm {} \;

(1440 is 60*24 minutes = 1 day)
