Cannot access Debian repository servers

Toasterman · 10-30-2013, 02:18 PM

I run a server with Debian Linux. It has Dansguardian, Squid, and OpenXchange. Any time I do apt-get update, this is what I get. I have not added any entries to my hosts file. The etc/environment file is empty. I have a feeling that this all is due to an invalid proxy setting.

Code:

Hi,

IIRC, if there is a proxy problem when doing an "apt-get update", the errors will explicitly mention it. There is no mention of a proxy in your error messages. Are you supposed to be using an http or ftp proxy? If so, how have you told apt about it?

AFAIK, you can set these with the http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables or in /etc/apt.conf with lines like:

Code:

http::Proxy "http://myproxyhost/";
ftp::Proxy "ftp://myproxyhost/";

The apt.conf man page has more info.

SUCCESS! Thank you. The apt.conf was what I needed. I created it and added the lines like you said. I was confused because the apt.conf was completely missing and so I had assumed the answers I found online were obsolete. I suppose that's my lesson for assuming things.
