squid-deb-proxy package

The default configuration is missing the /etc/squid-deb-proxy/autogenerated/pkg-blacklist-regexp.acl file

Bug Description

The provided default configuration contains:

 # this contains the package blacklist
acl blockedpkgs urlpath_regex "/etc/squid-deb-proxy/autogenerated/pkg-blacklist-regexp.acl"

But this file is not provided by the package (nor any example about what the content should be).

This leads to cron.daily generating emails of the form:

From: Anacron <email address hidden>
Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily' on example.com
To: <email address hidden>
Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2013 10:08:17 +0200 (CEST)

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
2013/04/09 09:28:41| strtokFile: /etc/squid-deb-proxy/autogenerated/pkg-blacklist-regexp.acl not found
2013/04/09 09:28:41| Warning: empty ACL: acl blockedpkgs urlpath_regex "/etc/squid-deb-proxy/autogenerated/pkg-blacklist-regexp.acl"

Commenting out the faulty line in /etc/squid-deb-proxy/squid-deb-proxy.conf breaks with (from /var/log/syslog):
Apr 15 10:22:56 saw squid3: Bungled squid-deb-proxy.conf line 73: http_access deny blockedpkgs

This bug was fixed in the package squid-deb-proxy - 0.8.10

---------------
squid-deb-proxy (0.8.10) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * debian/po/nl.po:
    - add Dutch translation of squid-deb-proxy debconf messages,
      thanks to Frans Spiesschaert (closes: 766519)

  [ Chris Glass ]
  * Don't remove the package blacklist file if it is empty when
    gathering rules. This should fix LP: #1166667 (closes: #775545)
