Yeah, well, use of the socket was just ultima ratio in case it cannot cannot go over the regular TCP/IP. Unfortunatelly, that is what was broken, the identification of local IP address sucked and the lookup for a known one (in BindAdresses config option) was not implemented. I am changing this now. It will explore the best host address from apt-cacher-ng config and also try localhost and only then go for the socket. Something is still broken in the communication via unix socket, it gets stuck most of the times. But I have no motivation in debugging this now because there is an ongoing rewrite of the core which redesigns the related event exchange. I guess everyone will be happy with the TCP socket communication for now. Regards, Eduard.
