Package: approx
Version: 2.8.0
Severity: normal
Wanting to only use approx in combination with pbuilder, I was hoping it
could listen only on the local interface. Unfortunately, after editing
/etx/approx/approx.conf with this preference it would semi-silently exit
due to a segmentation fault. Like so:
$ sudo invoke-rc.d approx start
Starting proxy server for Debian archive files: approx.
$ echo $?
0
$ ps auwx | grep approx | grep -v grep
<no output>
$ grep approx /var/log/syslog

If "lo" isn't supposed to work as the "interface", that's fine. I'd
just like the package to not crash and, preferably, be more verbose
about failing to start I feel the crash warrants "normal" severity.
