apt-proxy is poorly documented WRT error messages. I guess this happens
because it needs Packages files from the backend directories to get the
paths of that files. No packages files -> no path data -> no clue where
to store the files (to have correct url) -> apt-proxy confusion.

Solution: update the Packages files by running "apt-get update" on
clients, so apt-proxy would need to download them at least once.

(self-add...) I am maintainer of apt-cacher and the current version
will let you import anything, but may deliver wrong files later. The
next version will track the files in a similar way that apt-proxy does.

Eduard.
