I had managed to get my cache directory in a mess; I'm not sure whether it contained files with timestamps in the future or whether some files were owned by the wrong user. You can test out that theory by temporarily moving the apt-proxy cache away and creating a new one: mv /var/cache/apt-proxy /var/cache/apt-proxy.temp mkdir /var/cache/apt-proxy chown aptproxy /var/cache/apt-proxy rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* <--- clear apt's cache apt-get update If that does not help, try checking a different mirror just in case the rsyncd has a problem (unlikely I think). You may also like to try the newest version at http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/apt-proxy/unstable, which will hit Debian unstable in a few days if no problems arise.
