I'm using apt-proxy since Sarge and problems like these had always been
there. I actually had a cron job restarting apt-proxy every two hours.
However, with the current Lenny it happens quite often. I observed the
following:
1) It does only happen during apt-get update; never during the upgrade.
2) There is always at least one large (several MB) package file
involved, e.g. lenny/main.
3) Another variant is that this large source file dies at 99%.
4) When the update died, an upgrade running on another machine continues
to work perfectly.
5) Killing the update by ctrl-c on the client, and restarting apt-get
update runs into the same tarpit.
6) Starting an update on another machine will also die.
7) Restarting apt-proxy always helps.
Probably, someone familiar with the apt-proxy architecture can use that
to close on the bug.
