Public bug reported: Dapper's apt-setup puts the following line in /etc/apt/apt.conf:
Acquire::http::Proxy "false"; When using official Ubuntu mirrors, this works just fine. However, when using a local cache (via apt-cacher or approx), this line causes 'apt update' to fail in the following manner: [...] Err http://zanzibar.ne.in.athenacr.com dapper/main Packages 403 Forbidden Err http://zanzibar.ne.in.athenacr.com dapper/restricted Packages 403 Forbidden [...] Failed to fetch http://zanzibar.ne.in.athenacr.com:9999/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 403 Forbidden Failed to fetch http://zanzibar.ne.in.athenacr.com:9999/ubuntu/dists/dapper/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz 403 Forbidden [...] Wget'ing that file works just fine (no 403 - forbidden), and if I comment out the Acquire::http::proxy line in /etc/apt/apt.conf or set it to "" instead of "false", then 'apt-get update' works. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Acquire::http::proxy breaks things with apt proxies like apt-cacher https://launchpad.net/bugs/55813 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
