I upgraded from gutsy to hardy (via a search and replace gusty to hardy in sources.list and a dist-upgrade) and I have this problem too. It just times out on an apt-get update.
wget also works fine to retrieve files through the http_proxy environment variable. browsers are all working fine too. -- [ubuntu hardy alpha 3] update behind proxy - connections time out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
