Comment 6 for bug 827627

Hi, I would like to reopen this bug, as that package trusts any source it publishes itself as a proxy apt_mirror. I would like to see the optional caché feature implemented in apt, so that if we have something like apt-cacher-ng, we can rely that our computer will be updated thought it might not be available.

In the way of making just one optional proxy, I don't like trusting any server said to be a mirror, just mine or the official ones.

It would be nice to see this feature like configuring in /etc/apt/apt.conf an optional proxy like this:

Acquire::http::Proxy::Optional "http://192.168.2.233:3142";
