Package: apt-cacher
Version: 1.5.3
Severity: normal

Hi,

sometimes i get messages like this from cron.daily:

| zcat:
| /var/cache/apt-cacher/temp/somehost.mine.nu_debian_unstable_Packages.gz: 
unexpected end of file
| Error processing somehost.mine.nu_debian_unstable_Packages.gz in 
/var/cache/apt-cacher/packages, cleanup stopped.
| Remove the file if the repository is no longer interesting and the packages 
pulled from it are to be removed.
| run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/apt-cacher exited with return code 1

Presumably a user has accessed an unreliable or unreachable server using
the http://proxy-host:3142/ftp.something.unofficial/.... notation.
I have to delete that packages.gz file manually to make the cleanup
process work again.

As the proxy ist set up correctly, it should not bother the admin with
this problem, but proceed and do something with such repositories, e.g.
delete them completely if the server is unreachable for a configurable
amount of days.


Best regards,
- Dietrich
