And why do you remove the stuff, did you at least look inside that file? Because the answer to your question is/was most likely inside.
I checked my backups. backends_debian & backends_ubuntu were both empty before I removed them. When I remove them and run "dpkg-reconfigure apt-cacher-ng" I get an empty backends_ubuntu. backends_debian is not recreated.
http://proxyHost/ftp.XY.debian.org/debian/... ; if that's not relevant
this is what I use. This works. I just want the auto expiry to work.
I don't know your setup in detail. Which hostname did it try to resolve?
I don't (didn't) know, that is the problem.

So the error message is correct because "debrep" does not exist. I guess that I need to configure something so that it uses a server that exists. Section 3.1 in file:///usr/share/doc/apt-cacher-ng/html/config-servquick.html seems to indicate that I don't have to configure anything but I guess that the expiry needs a little help. thanks for apt-cacher-ng and your help!
