Hi, I am using a transparent proxy (other box). When I try to do an 'apt-get update' I get these warnings (in german): ... W: Fehlschlag beim Holen von http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/restricted/source/Sources.gz 503 Service Unavailable W: Fehlschlag beim Holen von http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/universe/source/Sources.gz 503 Service Unavailable W: Fehlschlag beim Holen von http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/multiverse/source/Sources.gz 503 Service Unavailable W: Fehlschlag beim Holen von http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 503 Service Unavailable W: Fehlschlag beim Holen von http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz 503 Service Unavailable W: Fehlschlag beim Holen von http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz 503 Service Unavailable E: Einige Indexdateien konnten nicht heruntergeladen werden, sie wurden ignoriert oder alte an ihrer Stelle benutzt. I changed ~.bashrc: http_proxy=http://192.168.120.199:8080 https_proxy=https://192.168.120:8080 export http_proxy export https_proxy I wrote on commandline: export http_proxy=http://proxyusername:proxypassword@proxyaddress:proxyport sudo apt-get update And I edited /etc/apt/apt.conf: Acquire::http::proxy "http://192.168.120.199:8080/"; Acquire::ftp::proxy "http://192.168.120.199:8080/"; Nothing has worked. Does anyone knows how to make apt-get working through a transparent proxy? Regards, ubuntu2man
