Comment 14 for bug 83783

I think I will seriously look into apt-cacher-ng

Tom, I chatted a bit with the twisted crowd on IRC and they were very helpful. They made me aware of the unit tests provided by the program itself. The ubuntu package fails quite many. I think this might be an approach to break down this task into bitesize, manageable pieces to fix and an opportunity for us to learn apt-proxy along the way. If we are lucky, we can already fix this bug by fixing the unit tests. Do "apt-get source apt-proxy" and call the "runtests" script. 49 of 160 tests failed for me.
