I just ran into this bug as well. > First: I don't see the URL that fails
I wondered the same thing. The debug line only shows the name of the file to save, not the url it's downloading from. So in simple_cdd/tools/mirror_download.py I changed the log.debug line (54) as follows: log.debug("downloading: %s as %s", url, output) which confirmed it was getting stuck on the extrafiles file for me as well. As a workaround, I added the following line to acng.conf : VfilePatternEx: /extrafiles$ and then restarted the service: systemctl restart apt-cacher-ng
