I am trying to get apt-proxy to work on a test machine running lenny.
Because hardly anything worked as expected, I stripped the configuration
down more and more.but it seems that nothing involving more than 1 backend
works. Here the scenario:
server(lenny) has the following apt-proxy backends:
[debian]
backends = http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian
[debian-security]
backends = http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-security
client(etch) /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://server:7777/debian etch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://server:7777/debian etch main contrib non-free
deb http://server:7777/debian-security etch/updates main contrib
with this cfg, I can only access backend "debian", apt-get update
reports:
Failed to fetch http://server:7777/
debian-security/dists/etch/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
when I disable the "debian-security" entry on the client,
apt-get update is successful.
The really funny part: when I change the backend order on the server
so "debian-security" is the 1st backend and restart the apt-proxy,
access to debian-security works, but "debian" doesn't.
Any ideas?
Generally, apt-proxy doesn't really look overly trustworthy (on
every start there is a python warning about telnet being deprecated),
but there doesn't seem to be any better alternative (I don't want to
run a full-blown apache server).
