[Apt-proxy-users] Release.gpg is retrieved and updated, but not made available

[Chris B. <chr...@ov...>]

Hello,
   I have been using apt-proxy for some time for installing and updating
Debian software, including building ISO images using jigdo. Aptitude now
reports repeated errors. The first request from aptitude is for the file
Release.gpg and I can see a recently updated file

/var/cache/apt-proxy/debian/dists/etch/Release.gpg

but now all attempts to get it from apt-proxy are answered by a failure to
connect, even when aptitude is running on the same box as apt-proxy. I
suspect that apt-proxy is only searching through

/var/cache/apt-proxy/debian/dists/etch/main/
/var/cache/apt-proxy/debian/dists/etch/contrib/
/var/cache/apt-proxy/debian/dists/etch/non-free/

and not

/var/cache/apt-proxy/debian/dists/etch/

aptitude will then report failure to connect for other requests or just
ignore any other output from apt-proxy and collect from a normal Debian
mirror site instead.
   I did have apt-proxy as the only source listed in /etc/apt/sources.list
and had a few messages about an untusted site but then decided to add some
standard mirror sites just to get regular updates.

   I was running apt-proxy then apt-proxy-v2 on a sarge box, so tried
upgrading that box to etch, and also apt-proxy on a totally new box running
etch, but get the same results, now also from boxes still running aptitude
on sarge.

   Any ideas? It would be good to get this working before etch is officially
released.
