I installed approx 2.7.0 from unstable today. gc_approx is still not working properly. Instead of just trying to remove packages with ~ in the version, it now tries to remove other files as well. One of the files it tries to remove is:
/var/cache/approx/multimedia/pool/main/m/mplayer-blue/mplayer-skin-blue_1.5-0.5_all.deb The Packages.bz2 file in my approx cache says: Filename: pool/main/m/mplayer-blue/mplayer-skin-blue_1.5-0.5_all.deb apt-cache policy mplayer-skin-blue says: mplayer-skin-blue: Installed: 1.5-0.5 Candidate: 1.5-0.5 Version table: *** 1.5-0.5 0 1001 http://sirius etch/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Additionally, gc_approx also tries to remove some Packages files, although they are still available on the server: /var/cache/approx/security/dists/etch/updates/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 /var/cache/approx/security/dists/etch/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 /var/cache/approx/security/dists/etch/updates/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Currently no packages from this source are in the cache, is this the reason? approx should still keep the Packages files.
