sry, i just send the reply to eduard, not the bugs list, therefore here again:
Ahh great, that seems to be the problem. The user has the User-ID 25001 as I use an nfs share for the Cache and had to move the user to this UID. Is there a change to get apt-cacher-ng running and updating with this UID or do I have to modify my whole NFS setup? i just deleted the apt-cacher-ng user and recreated it with a lower UID, afterwards the upgrade worked fine. Thank you for your help!
