apt-cacher-ng not expiring any more
Running apt-cacher-ng on wheezy (with wheezy-backports), some missing
files in the repository are making the expiration step fail. Here are
the relevant lines from the log:
Checking/Updating debrep/dists/jessie-backports/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2...
404 Not Found

404 Not Found
Found errors during processing, aborting as requested.
The problem started in the 24hrs before Sat, 22 Aug 2015 06:07:13 -0500.
As I don't understand why there are Packages.bz2, Packages.xz and
Packages.gz files variously scattered throughout debrep, I'm not sure
whether this problem is a failure to maintain debrep or a bug in
apt-cacher-ng (version 0.8.0-3~bpo70+2) whose fix hasn't been backported.
If I change my sources.list to uk instead of us, I get the same
problem, so if it's debrep's fault I suppose it must be being
replicated during mirroring.
Anyone else noticed this? If you're running under jessie, does it
fail, does it skip those .bz2 files without complaining, or does it
just use one of its companion files (.xz or .gz as available)?
Cheers,
David.
