For those that have been following the recent thread about using apt-proxy to "mirror" the /var/cache/apt/archives directory from one computer to an entire network, I thought the following tip may be handy. The .deb package says it depends on wget _or_ rsync, but the default config file won't work unless you have rsync installed. Furthermore, if you add any extra repositories, or uncomment one of the examples with url lines of the type"http://..."; or "ftp://..."; it doesn't seem to work without wget. The first half of the problem was reported in bug #199430 in the Debian bts and can be found here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199430 IMO, apt-proxy should list both wget _and_ rsync as dependencies to avoid confusion. At the very least it needs to mention this in the readme in /usr/share/doc/apt-proxy/ and maybe /etc/apt-proxy/apt-proxy.conf as well. I notice the bug has been open for more than 200 days though, so maybe there's something else involved that I haven't noticed yet.
