I would happily accept worked-over documentation for anything I maintain - knowing a program inside-out does not help in writing documentation - I don't always see the problems you do. > In this case I may be closer than I think.

In this case, you specified 'security' as backend name and 'security.debian.org' in sources.list. I quote from the apt-proxy.conf that I suggested you look at: # Debian security #deb http://APTPROXY:9999/security stable/updates main contrib non-free (well, you need to change 'stable' to 'testing' and set your apt-proxy host name, but otherwise it is correct for you.) Hope that helps, Chris
