Hello,

I am having a problem with apt-get (please see below).

Thanks in advance, Don

It looks like your apt is trying to connect via an http proxy on
localhost at port 4001 and is unable to.  Does your browser connect via
a proxy?  ssh uses a different port so wouldn't be involved in a proxy
issue.

For completeness, give us your /etc/apt/sources.list.

I don't know where proxies are set up for apt.


/etc/apt/apt.conf might contain some settings, and most likely the place for a proxy.

Cheers,
Mike
