Control: found approx/5.3-1 I've had the same problem in wheezy; I've tried to strace approx-gc

I noticed that in /var/cache/approx I had two empty, 000ed files:
/var/cache/approx# ls -l
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 approx approx 4096 May 2 2012 backports
---------- 1 approx approx 0 Aug 7 12:48 backports.29812.539622068
drwxr-xr-x 4 approx approx 4096 Oct 9 15:03 debian
---------- 1 approx approx 0 Aug 7 12:48 debian.29812.425041914
drwxr-xr-x 4 approx approx 4096 May 11 2012 emdebian
drwxr-xr-x 4 approx approx 4096 Oct 17 2011 security
removing those removed the problem, and as far as I can see approx-gc
resumed working.
