Re: apt-proxy error
Thanks for the help, it was all in how I was specifying my apt sources.
This is how sources.list should be set up.
#Main and Contrib Packages
deb http://SERVER:9999/main stable main contrib
deb http://SERVER:9999/non-US stable/non-US main contrib
#Security Updates
deb http://SERVER:9999/security stable/updates main
