Hi Eduard, thanks for your bug report! > > Retrieving bug reports... 0% Fail > Error retrieving bug reports from the server with the following error message: > W: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (http://[127.0.0.1]:3142) > It appears that your network connection is down.

However apt-listbugs does not handle proxy servers directly: it relies on Ruby libraries to do this. As a consequence, this bug report should probably be reassigned to another package (maybe libruby1.8 or libhttpclient-ruby1.8, see also the somewhat related bug #576118). Anyway, before I reassign the bug report, could you please explain me a few things about what you are attempting to do? I read in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/ipaddr.rb that "IPv6 address may be enclosed in square brackets", but 127.0.0.1 is not an IPv6 address, AFAICT: it's an IPv4 address... Why are you enclosing it in square brackets? It's true that I can reproduce the above behavior with http_proxy=http://[::1]:8118 as well... but anyway...
