apt-get has the problems to resolve address
 
I installed Lucid. I am sitting behind a passworded proxy therefore I set up this proxy variable:

Code:
http://user:password@host:port/
When I try use apt-get upgrade it shows the following error:

Code:
Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com lucid Release.gpg                         
  Something wicked happened resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
Err http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security Release.gpg                 
  Something wicked happened resolving 'security.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

.....
But when I try to use:

Code:
wget www.google.com
it just works fine and gets me the desired page. Looks like there is some problem. I tried using KPackagekit and installed Synaptic manually to resolve it but no help.

Please help me out of this. My PC is just plain OS with no applications I need.

Well it appears to be attempting to resolve "us.archive.ubuntu.com:http" as a hostname. Have you checked your configs? Looks like there might be a missing space or malformed line... or maybe a bug. What does your sources.list look like (/etc/apt/sources.list)?

here is a snapshot of my sources: http://pastebin.com/EDYcMMC5
Its unmodified and the original one from the installation.

Ok now I manually updated the apt-get lists (yeah it was very tiresome). And now when I want to install a package I get the same error:


Code:
Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe linuxdcpp 1.0.3-1
  Something wicked happened resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...0.3-1_i386.deb  Something wicked happened resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
Well whats the problem? Bug with apt-get?

Not sure if it applies, but debian uses http://http.us.debian.org/.....

Perhaps:

deb http://http.us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb-src http://http.us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted

or not. The pastebin being just /us.ar... not /http.us.ar... just a guess though.
