Public bug reported: Binary package hint: debian-installer
Installer is unable to retrieve files from apt-proxy/apt-cacher style proxies using "hostname:port", despite the fact that the dialogs say that it's valid. 1) Netbooted from /ubuntu/hardy/main/installer-sparc/20070308ubuntu31/images/sparc64/netboot/2.6/boot.img 2) manually set "apt-proxy.company.com:9999" and "/ubuntu/" at the prompt for which repository to use The problem seems to stem from the fact that the installer's version of wget appears to be hobbled in some fashion: This is from a running i386 Hardy system on the same network: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ wget -q http://apt-proxy.company.com:9999/ubuntu//dists/hardy/Release -O - | grep ^Suite: | cut -d' ' -f 2 hardy So, the proxy is definitely working, and none of my other machines have problems accessing it. This is from the shell on the netbooted system: ~ # wget -q http://apt-proxy.company.com:9999/ubuntu//dists/hardy/Release -O - | grep ^Suite: | cut -d' ' -f 2 wget: no response from server ~ # wget -q http://192.168.1.20:9999/ubuntu//dists/hardy/Release -O - wget: no response from server It can get to the server from the netbooted system if I drop the port: ~ # wget -q http://192.168.1.20/ubuntu//dists/hardy/Release -O - wget: server returned error 404: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found (note that port 80 is just a plain web sever, no Ubuntu packages, so the 404 is normal) ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Installer/wget is unable to retrieve files via a proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198138 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
