Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt

I am using apt-cacher so I have put Acquire::http { Proxy 
"http://localhost:3142";; }; into my apt.conf file.
Yesterday I downloaded bind9 which has installed itself and started.  I haven't 
had time yet to configure for my local domain but I noticed that when I did an 
apt-get update, it wasn't going through apt-cacher.
I also downloaded squid-deb-proxy to have a look at (which I haven't 
configured).
apt-get update spat out a "service_browser failed: DNS failure: NXDOMAIN" error.
I shut down bind, commented out #Acquire::http::ProxyAutoDetect 
"/usr/share/squid-deb-proxy-client/apt-avahi-discover"; from the 30autoproxy 
file and things went back to normal.

While I appreciate that I have some configuration work to do.  Whatever
is the causes of the failure message, whether it be bind not configued
or squid-deb-proxy not configured, the original Proxy line in the
apt.conf file should be observed?
