Re: apt-get problem


I looked at the apt-get howto located at

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-sources.list
and grabbed some additional lines for my /etc/apt/sources.list file, which now reads: 

#

deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free

# Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free

however, when I run apt-get update, I still get no joy, and a lot of lines like:
Failed to fetch http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/dists/testing/Release.gpg Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) 

Any ideas what is happening?

Thanks, Don
P.S. apt-get was working flawlessly on this machine for the longest time---I do not know what has changed.

Hello,

I am having a problem with apt-get (please see below).
(I have noted no other network problems: browser and ssh
work fine.)  I am not sure what is supposed to go on with
localhost.  Any ideas?

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
