Package: approx
Version: 2.9.0

Hi,

I do a lot of Debian work offline. Using an APT proxy could help me a
lot, since I could use the proxy's cache to download packages I need.
However, this doesn't work very well with approx.

If a file is not up to date, approx tries to check if a more up to date
version exists. If I'm offline, this fails, and approx returns a 404
error.

I could incrase $interval, but then approx would never check for more
up-to-date Package lists.

It would be great if it was possible to tell approx "don't return a 404
error if you cannot check if a file is up-to-date. Just return the
existing file."

A configuration option could be added for that.
