Package: apt-cacher-ng Version: 0.7.18-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
On a system that must access the internet through a proxy, installation of apt-cacher-ng hangs in the postinst phase. /var/lib/dpkg/info/apt-cacher-ng.postinst contains this line, which I believe is causing the hang: wget -q -O- $mirurl >> $tmpfile 2>/dev/null || curl -s $mirurl >> $tmpfile 2>/dev/null || true I think this would be solved postinst should respect the apt proxy specified in apt.conf or apt.conf.d/* Summary: 'apt-get install apt-cacher-ng' hangs, but 'export http_proxy=myproxy.8888', followed by 'apt-get install apt-cacher-ng' succeeds. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.10-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt-cacher-ng depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.50 ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii init-system-helpers 1.8 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-5 ii libc6 2.17-92 ii libgcc1 1:4.8.1-2 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 ii libstdc++6 4.8.1-2 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-24 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 Versions of packages apt-cacher-ng recommends: ii avahi-daemon 0.6.31-2 ii ed 1.9-2 ii perl 5.14.2-21 Versions of packages apt-cacher-ng suggests: ii curl 7.32.0-1 pn doc-base <none> ii libfuse2 2.9.2-4 ii wget 1.14-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/apt-cacher-ng/backends_debian changed: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ /etc/apt-cacher-ng/security.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/apt-cacher-ng/security.conf' -- debconf information: apt-cacher-ng/gentargetmode: No automated setup
