I am trying to download a set of older .deb files that are no longer available from the official Ubuntu repos but are in a local cache maintained by apt-cacher-ng. I've added Acquire::http::Proxy "http://127.0.0.1:3142"; to my apt.conf, but no matter how many times I run apt-get update, apt doesn't seem to pick up the package versions I want. I even tried editing my sources.list to explicitly proxy the official Ubuntu repos.

As an example, I am trying to download aptdaemon=1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu19.1. The official Ubuntu repos have aptdaemon=1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu19 and aptdaemon=1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu19.2. Even after pointing apt to the proxy, apt-cache show aptdaemon only shows the two versions I don't want.

Is there something I need to do to make apt-cacher-ng expose the package I want to apt?

    Does apt-cache madison aptdaemon show all 3 versions or only the 2 from the Ubuntu repos?

  • It only shows the 2 from the Ubuntu repos.

  • I think it is supposed to be added as Acquire::http { Proxy "http://127.0.0.1:3142"; } to the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy if it exists. If not, I think you're supposed to create the file
