Title:
apt-get update did not run even after updating apt.conf file
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Generally I am a FEDORA user. I formatted my system and installed ubuntu
yesterday.I could not update even after the correct network setting.My network
connection is correct and I am able to browse through net.
I updated apt.conf for proxy settings
I updated the source.list file too
but bug remains same
I installed system twice and changed apt.conf :
"Acquire::http::username:[email protected]:80/"
as
"Acquire :: http :: username : gkm010mkg@[email protected]:80/"
then I realized the big bug............
my password contained @ symbol.and the SOFTWARE WRITTEN TO READ THE APT.CONF
READS IT 'LEFT TO RIGHT'; AS MY PASSWD CONTAINED @ SYMBOL, IT TOOK
'[email protected]' as the server address INSTEAD OF
'proxy.cse.iitb.ac.in',and obviously could not fetch it..!!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::REMEDY::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
THE SOFTWARE SHOULD BE RECODED AS READING APT.CONF FROM RIGHT TO LEFT FOR
ROBUSTNESS.
