I have been trying to use apt-proxy but haven't successful because I really don't know how it works. I have begun to read the 30 page apt-proxy script and that may be the best way but I would sure appreciate if anyone could either explain it in a few lines or point me to a doc that does so.

zless /usr/share/doc/apt-proxy/README.gz
man apt-proxy
man apt-proxy.conf
man apt-proxy-import

I had read all of these except the import but I had done the import. Often enough I find Linux documentations skips over or assumes understanding that I don't have yet. Not that I don't appreciate all that has been done.

In this case I may be closer than I think.  For security I have:

add_backend /security/                                  \
       $APT_PROXY_CACHE/security/       \
       security.debian.org::debian-security/     \
non-us.debian.org::debian-security/
and from the client I get:

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Other parts may be working.

Thanks,
