apt-cacher-ng problems
I installed acng yesterday. Nothing else has changed.
A script is fetching all of the required packages plus a few others for
amd64,i386,arm64 and armel starting with sid all the way to jessie
Rather complicated setup: (This does make sense although in this
particular failure it looks excessively complicated)
apt(aptmirror17) -> acng (localhost) -> squid (different host) ->
apache(back on aptmirror17)
downloaded all of the i386 packages and was fine for amd64 until
1659848478|O|404276|::1|aptmirror17.home.woodall.me.uk/local/pool/essential/sid/amd64/grep_3.7-1_amd64.deb
1659848478|E|632|::1|aptmirror17.home.woodall.me.uk/local/pool/essential/sid/amd64/gzip_1.12-1_amd64.deb [HTTP error, code: 502]
1659848478|E|632|::1|aptmirror17.home.woodall.me.uk/local/pool/essential/sid/amd64/hostname_3.23_amd64.deb [HTTP error, code: 502]
etc
I don't have the exact output from apt for this particular error but it
will have been something like:
Err:129 http://aptmirror17.home.woodall.me.uk/local buster/essential
armel linux-image-4.19.0-21-rpi armel 4.19.249-2
502 Connection closed [IP: ::1 3128]

I cannot see anything wrong in either of the squid or apache logs.

Squid checking the file is unchanged is logged by apache.

It looks very much to me that acng is getting overloaded due to the
amount of data it is writing.
I've kept retrying and after about a dozen failures, all the data is now
cached and I no longer get these 502 errors.
FTAOD, this has worked flawlessly until I added acng into the mix.
Anyone got any ideas? I can change logging on all parts of this chain.
Two other acng questions:
How can I disable expiry completely? I've set it to 40000 days
currently.
Can I disable caching for aptmirror17 specifically?
The documentation isn't great...
Tim.
