Taking what you describe into account, it really seems that you are experiencing bug #964438 . Unfortunately, my attempt to report a wishlist bug against systemd was not really successful... :-( > * when in a location where the apt-proxy is not reachable, i receive > emails every so often re: "E: Connection refused - Connection > refused". while a valid complaint this is a known issue that i > don't need to hear about and would like to be able to turn off. Why do you use a proxy for HTTP in apt? Are you forced to use a proxy (because direct HTTP connections are disabled in your network), or do you just prefer to use a proxy (perhaps in order to benefit from caching and similar features)? If direct HTTP are allowed on your network, you could consider disabling the use of the proxy for apt-listbugs, by setting Acquire::http::Proxy::bugs.debian.org "DIRECT"; in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs This should make apt-listbugs bypass the proxy for its BTS queries.
