I've seen this error on occasion before. It solved itself for me. Not sure what was going on. A caching proxy definitely would cause problems. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix it. I know that apt-get uses wget to fetch rpms from the server. I know also that wget can be told to send the Pragma: no-cache header in the http request which most sane proxy servers honor. Not sure how to get apt to pass this argument to wget. (apt may use libcurl, though, so maybe this is useless). Michael > > and received no answers.
