I installed trixie from scratch with the 13.2 netinst just over two weeks ago, my second such installation. To save bandwidth, I copied the trixie packages saved from my first installation into /var/cache/apt/archives: it's now a 6.7GB .deb collection. As this laptop runs pretty much 24/7, I decided to install apt-cacher-ng on it, rather than my usual workaday desktop.
The msintainer is AWOL. Right now I'm doing what I can to keep acng in the archive but unless a debian developer steps up to salvage it then I suspect eventually this very useful package will die.
I don't use import but a I suspect ccdc24ae (SHA256 checksum support) which I vaguely recall thinking was incomplete while looking at the code.
Eventually I'll TAL but won't be soon. Tim.
