Package: approx Version: 5.7-3 Followup-For: Bug #865919 Dear Eric,
thank you for your quick answer (not mine)! I read again the manual page of approx and noticed i made a mistake in my client's sources.list so running apt- get update on the client side finally made /var/cache/approx on the server side be filled. So I simply replaced what is referred to my Debian mirror in my source.list file by my approx server like this : deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ stretch ... became : deb http://my.approx.server.ip:9999/debian/ stretch ... Thanks again.
