Public bug reported:

Hi,

just a detail I noticed during an upgrade of Kubuntu 25.04 to 25.10 with
do-release-update -d :

The updater failed here, because it tried to fetch

https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-development


and used the proxy given in /etc/apt/apt.conf

Acquire::http::Proxy    "http://install:8000/";;
Acquire::https::Proxy   "http://install:8000/";;

but ignored

Acquire::ForceIPv4 true;


Therefore, it used an official IPv6 address instead of the RFC1918 ipv4 address 
or a site-local ipv6, and the proxy denied, since its use is restricted to 
local addresses. 


If the upgrader takes the proxy settings from apt.conf, it should honor all 
settings. 


Easy to fix, but it easily could keep users from updating if they don't
understand this cause.


regards
