Results of the debug run. (1) I disabled the /etc/apt-cacher/checksumming.conf line # require '/usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-lib-cs.pl'; WHICH i had enabled. (2) Changed debug=0 to debug=1 in apt-cacher.conf (3) Changed the sources.list to deb http://127.0.0.1:3142/mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free for testing. (4) Did an aptitude update and then an aptitude upgrade yada yada-doc which worked for the first time! Alas, the client did not work. Error was can't find the package file. Yes I changed the client sources.list to point to the server. The error log showed no entries for 3 or 4. The access log entries for 3 were: Mon Nov 27 22:28:18 2006|127.0.0.1|EXPIRED|4248792|mirrors.kernel.org_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-i386_Packages.bz2 Mon Nov 27 22:28:35 2006|127.0.0.1|EXPIRED|50915|mirrors.kernel.org_debian_dists_testing_contrib_binary-i386_Packages.bz2 Mon Nov 27 22:28:36 2006|127.0.0.1|HIT|77836|mirrors.kernel.org_debian_dists_testing_non-free_binary-i386_Packages.bz2 Mon Nov 27 22:36:17 2006|127.0.0.1|MISS|47828|yada_0.51_all.deb Mon Nov 27 22:37:47 2006|127.0.0.1|MISS|276970|yada-doc_0.51_all.deb I don't understand the last 2 entries as the download 'did' work? There were no entries for the client machine in the access log. In the apt-cacher.conf I have "cache_dir=/album/apt-cacher" (a 9G partition) which has all of the required dirs as made by the install.pl script. I found three yada deb files. /var/cache/apt/archives/yada_0.51_all.deb /album/apt-cacher/headers/yada_0.51_all.deb /album/apt-cacher/packages/yada_0.51_all.deb ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/yada_0.51_all.deb /album/apt-cacher/packages/yada_0.51_all.deb /album/apt-cacher/headers/yada_0.51_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 339 2006-11-27 22:36 /album/apt-cacher/headers/yada_0.51_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 47K 2006-11-27 22:36 /album/apt-cacher/packages/yada_0.51_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47K 2006-11-15 21:32 /var/cache/apt/archives/yada_0.51_all.deb I expected the /album/apt-cacher/packages/ to be a link to /var/cache/apt/archives instead of having 2 files. Thats about all I found Eduard. Hope the exams go well. Wayne -- Basic, n.: A programming language.
