Package: apt-file Version: 2.0.8.2 Followup-For: Bug #357031 I am experiencing the same problem. Although I set http_proxy variables etc. it still silently fails in fetching any data. (The progress bar bug report is also related to this...)
Is there a workaround for this, or is it simply impossible to use apt-file from behind a proxy? -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages apt-file depends on: ii curl 7.15.5-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS, FT ii gzip 1.3.5-15 The GNU compression utility ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.20 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libconfig-file-perl 1.4-2 Parses simple configuration files ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii wget 1.10.2-2 retrieves files from the web apt-file recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
