Package: apt-proxy
Version: 1.9.29
Severity: important
The default installation of apt-proxy in sarge silently fails to cache
packages.
Upon installation the following directory is created in /var/cache
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 16 16:29 apt-proxy
However apt-proxy is started as user aptproxy, which does not have
permission to write to that directory. The follow errors are logged to
/var/log/apt-proxy.log when running apt-get update

'/var/cache/apt-proxy/debian'
A subsequent ls -al of /var/cache/apt-proxy shows that none of the usual
data directories have been created.
Changing the ownership of /var/cache/apt-proxy fixes the problem.
Strangely while apt-proxy does not function correctly (does not cache
packages) this does not seem to affect it's ability to download packages
for the client. This can result in the client having no idea that the
desired behaviour (package caching) is not being achieved.
