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.

Please reopen this bug.
