I have been seeing the exact same problem for the past few weeks.  The
problem is with experimental main for me.

  deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian experimental main

I am experiencing this with 0.7.11-1 since the proxy is a Stable
Wheezy machine.

I suspect that the file on my system would be the same as the one
previously reported.  But I would happily provide mine if it were
beneficial.

  ls -lh 
/var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/debrep/dists/experimental/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz
  -rw-r--r-- 1 apt-cacher-ng apt-cacher-ng 426K Dec  1 12:38 
/var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/debrep/dists/experimental/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz

Running the expiration from the web interface reports:

  Parsing metadata in debrep/dists/experimental/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz
  An error occured while reading this file, some contents may have been 
ignored. [ ] Tag

I am not familiar with the internals.  Is there a command that I could
run from the command line to have apt-cacher-ng parse that file and
report debug information directly?  Perhaps at that point I could even
debug it to root cause.

Thanks,
Bob
