Yes, that's right

Everything is right with the perms:
$ lh /var/log/apt-cacher/{access,error}.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 2.6M 2008-01-10 18:03
/var/log/apt-cacher/access.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 403K 2008-01-10 18:03
/var/log/apt-cacher/error.log

I just upgraded to 1.6.1 and nothing changed at all, the same problems occur.
I also disabled the daemon_addr option and nothing changed either, but
turning checksuming off did get apt-cacher back to work again
(retrieval, log files, etc).
So I guess there must be some problem with checksuming.
