thanks
Tests have shown that apt-cacher fails to start if and only if
/var/cache/apt-cacher/private does not exist. It does *not* require the
exlock file to start.
But it does not work correctly if /var/cache/apt-cache/packages/ and
/var/cache/apt-cache/headers/ are
For completeness, note that invoking /usr/share/apt-cacher/install.pl
(which is invoked in postinst) in the init script would nearly work, as
it creates /var/cache/apt-cache directories with correct perms.
But it plays with apache.conf and tries to restart apache, so that's not
acceptable.

Hi!
After emptying /var/cache/apt-cacher/, apt-cacher cannot start anymore.
An easy workaround is to
$ mkdir -p /var/cache/apt-cacher/private/
$ touch /var/cache/apt-cacher/private/exlock
$ chown -R
