I am not behind a proxy or any network restriction. at one point, I had tried to setup the apt-cache package but failed. I reverted my /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy file so that it wouldn't try to use the proxy anymore. Acquire::http::Proxy "http://";;
my http_proxy env var is empty. here is the output you asked for: $ wget --debug -O- http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release|tailSetting --output-document (outputdocument) to - DEBUG output created by Wget 1.11.4 on linux-gnu. --2009-11-03 08:24:29-- http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release Resolving changelogs.ubuntu.com... 91.189.90.132 Caching changelogs.ubuntu.com => 91.189.90.132 Connecting to changelogs.ubuntu.com|91.189.90.132|:80... connected.
