Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist I tried to install debian behind an apt-proxy and the installations hangs when fetching packages during installation (Errormsg on ALT-F4). See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=388769 .
It seems that all Debian etch installations behind a sarge apt-proxy fail because of apt-proxy bug 374405: > Incompatible with full URL HTTP requests from recent apt versions > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374405 Upgrading the apt-proxy from sarge to backports.org solved the installation-problem. IMHO it would be nice to have a hint / warning about sarge apt-proxy when manually selecting a mirror. Otherwise many people may stumble over this incompatibility.
