Yes, the hostname is not the one I use. According to (1), there are two methods to use a proxy apg-cacher-ng in this case: - "• Specify the caching machine as HTTP Proxy for your download client. This can be usually done - "• Replace all mirror hostnames with cachinghost/hostname in sources.list, ..." For now, method 2 is used when '/etc/apt/sources.list' is created by the Debian installer, so method 1 is not an option. Everything else is working but not downloading the upgrade through apg-cacher-ng. Is anyone using a proxy to download the upgrade(s) and what format is to be used in '/etc/apt/sources.list'? I'm clearly missing something here! :) 1) https://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~bloch/acng/html/config-servquick.html#config-client -- John Doe
