Yes, I can confirm that, having just downgraded to it first. Normally if there are problems I get an email: --✂-------- Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily' on alum /etc/cron.daily/apt-cacher-ng: Error(s) occured while updating volatile index files for apt-cacher-ng. Please visit http://alum:3142/acng-report.html to rerun the expiration manually or check the error message(s) in the current log file(s). Please check error messages in one of: /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/maint_1441883138.log.html +/var/log/apt-cacher-ng/maint_1441802104.log.html /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/maint_1441715703.log.html +/var/log/apt-cacher-ng/maint_1441623938.log.html /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/maint_1441537538.log.html --✂-------- Normally I look at the log file because I'm not seated at the machine. Having just made a repeated attempt at expiration with the browser at http://alum:3142/acng-report.html I noticed that each error 404 line here is followed by a checkbox for tagging it, and there's a delete button at the bottom. Tagging and deleting these files fixed it: 3 GB will be saved. Thanks. Note to self—use the browser interface. Cheers, David.
