First of all, let's be clear about the nature of your problem: If you're saying that your Debian system cannot fetch packages from the Debian on-line mirrors or CD-ROMs, then it has a serious fundamental system problem. That is separate from any problems you might have with apt-proxy. So, are you asking for help fixing the machine that can't install packages, or are you asking for help configuring the apt-proxy machine? Judging from your account, the apt-proxy machine may be operating just fine, and you have no particular reason to think that it isn't. On the machine that can't install packages, what messages do you get back when you type "apt-get update"? Does package x have an entry in that machine's /var/lib/dpkg/available file? If so, what does the entry say? -- Cheers, The difference between common sense and paranoia is that common sense Rick Moen is thinking everyone is out to get you. That's normal; they are.
