Package: apt-cacher
Version: 1.5.1
Severity: important
The cleanup of the package cache should normally stop, of any
of the sources or packages files are unreadable, but this is
not the case.
As you can see from the following excerpt, unpacking one
bzip2-compressed package file failed, because it was corrupt,
but apt-cacher-cleanup just went on and thus deleted all i386
packages from my package cache.

R: debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages.bz2
bzcat: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.
bzcat: Success
Input file = debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages.bz2, output
file = (stdout)
It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.
You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

To work around this problem, I added the follwing (very crude
and inefficient) code to apt-cacher-lib.pl just before the open()
in line 129:
`$cat $name >/dev/null` || die("C: Error processing $name, cleanup
stopped\n");
The open() itself always returns 0 as long as $cat is available, even
if the command itself fails.
