Okay, this is a little bit tricky now. Since the backends list is empty (i.e. absent in config line or the include list file is missing/empty), the internal cache-to-weblocation resolver does not know the real hostname and as last resort it assumes that "debrep" itself is the hostname. Originally, this case has been forseen and there is a solution (making internal notes of the original URL from the most recent download of an index file). However, few last versions in Debian unstable were buggy and stored a broken URL. I hopped that this would not become a problem for anybody but apparently I figured wrong. To check if the assumption is true, please run $ find /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/debrep/dists/ -name '*Packages.bz2.head' | xargs grep X-Orig | cut -f2 -d' ' and probably there are some invalid URLs (without hostname) in that list. The IMO simpliest way to repair that is: add one line containing ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ to the backends_debian file (or just to acfg.conf). This is basically the same action that the truncate-and-dpkg-reconfigure method would do by fishing the URL from sources.list. AFAICS you tried that method before, but I have no explanation why it does not work for you. I just tried to reproduce: $ > /etc/apt-cacher-ng/backends_debian $ dpkg-reconfigure apt-cacher-ng Stopping apt-cacher-ng: apt-cacher-ng. Starting apt-cacher-ng: apt-cacher-ng $ grep fr.deb /etc/apt-cacher-ng/backends_debian http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ -> works just fine $ zgrep ftp.fr.debian.org /usr/lib/apt-cacher-ng/deb_mirrors.gz | sort -u Archive-upstream: ftp.fr.debian.org Site: ftp.fr.debian.org -> the mirror is in the list (used by dpkg-reconfigure call to verify sources.list) Btw, if you like, you can remove that backends line later after the metadata has been repaired. >> http://proxyHost/ftp.XY.debian.org/debian/... ; if that's not relevant > > this is what I use.

I changed the code for the next release to print the name from the failed lookup immediately, this should make the problem identification easier.
