I've two questions re approx version 3.3.0 on lenny i386. The first is, anybody else get caught in an infinite loop updating the Packages files? I've tried from localhost and a remote machine. On both machines, running "aptitude update" causes the Packages file to start downloading (you can watch it grow with repeated "find /var/cache/approx -type -f -ls"), then after awhile the file disappears, and a few seconds later appears once more continuing to grow until it disappears again. In short, it ain't working for me.
Secondly, sites such as the following lead me to believe that it is possible to import packages from the local download cache to the approx repository: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man8/approx-import.8.html http://bethesignal.org/blog/2009/04/13/approx-package-caching-ubuntu-debian-lovers/ but I don't seem to have approx-import on my system and I can't find any approx packages that look like they might contain such an utility. Any pointers?
