Perhaps I spoke too soon.  I encountered this error in my apt-cacher-ng
log after replying to your message.

Checking/Updating debrep/dists/wheezy/Release...
Attempting to download the alternative version... Checking/Updating
debrep/dists/wheezy/InRelease...
<span class="ERROR">404 Not Found</span>

After seeing that I re-read your message and noticed that the system had
been initially installed as wheezy but now runs stretch.

It has been some years since I moved to apt-cacher-ng, so I've forgotten
how it differs from apt-cacher, but in my case I had to remove the
directories /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/debrep/dists/wheezy* and then
re-run the expiration task.

You may need to do something similar.

Regards,
