Package: apt-cacher-ng
Version: 3.2-1
Severity: serious

This bug is basically reminder to myself and not to whoever runs into
this issue.

Looks like apt-cacher-ng expiery manages to maneuver itself into a state
which cannot be recovered. It reports non-existent files from apparently
guessed sources, like:

Error summary:
debrep/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/SHA256SUMS: 404 Not 
Found
debrep/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/20170615+deb9u5+b2/images/SHA256SUMS:

localhost/ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/20170615/images/SHA256SUMS:
 404 Not Found

I have a vague idea where it comes from (old heuristics which fetched
voluntarily additional metadata which was not well linked in old Debian
versions, like 10 years ago). This needs to be investigated (digging
through history) and probably removed, or fixed.
