The linked bug report perfectly describes what I am seeing, but, if you want something more specific:
On the apt-cacher-ng machine, running the attached config without the workaround, I cannot fetch .asc files, such as this one from openssl: % curl http://localhost:3142/debian/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_1.1.0f.orig.tar.gz.asc <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"><head><title>403 Forbidden file type or location</title> ... This is hit by "apt source" in sid. You can test this with Docker, if Docker is your thing: # In an up to date-ish Debian Sid machine... faux@astoria:~% docker pull debian:sid && docker run -it debian:sid sid: Pulling from library/debian Digest: sha256:4a9698e05982d5b3a26c799a480e5c3aae58d1ad6b02605a14ec928fa8cf4b6e Status: Image is up to date for debian:sid # Configure the proxy (here "urika" is the name of the machine running apt-cacher-ng), # then run apt update, then try and apt source openssl: root@cff2c85d3dea:/# echo 'Acquire::http { Proxy "http://urika:3142";; };' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/1694121acng && sed -i 'p;s/^deb/&-src /' /etc/apt/sources.list && apt update && apt source openssl Get:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid InRelease [243 kB] Get:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main Sources [9734 kB] Get:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages [10.1 MB] Fetched 20.1 MB in 1s (17.5 MB/s) Reading package lists...
