Package: apt Version: 0.5.3 Severity: normal A very strange bug. I have FTP URLs in sources.list and I proxy them via the HTTP proxy Squid (yes, the man page of apt says it is slow).
If my ftp_proxy is without dot: export ftp_proxy=http://proxy-interxion:3128/ it works fine but if I use the same machine with a FQDN: export ftp_proxy=http://proxy-interxion.gitoyen.net:3128/ it fails. Do note that this is really the same proxy: machoke:~/tmp % ping -c 1 proxy-interxion.gitoyen.net PING machoke.gitoyen.net (80.67.160.2): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 80.67.160.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.0 ms machoke:~/tmp % ping -c 1 proxy-interxion PING machoke.gitoyen.net (80.67.160.2): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 80.67.160.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.0 ms When I use the FQDN, the symptoms are that that apt displays "Logging in" during a very long time then: Err ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org woody/main kdebase-libs 4:2.1.1.0-10 Server closed the connection I have the feeling I made a stupid mistake Somewhere but I cannot find where. sources.list: deb ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux machoke 2.4.9 #1 SMP Mon Sep 3 22:22:29 CEST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.4-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-0.010810 The GNU stdc++ library
