Bug#101916: nf_http_fetchfile error, uninstallable stable Debian 2.2.r3

[Janos Holanyi <csani@lme.linux.hu>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.23
Severity: grave

Hi there,

I get the following error and cannot install the floppies via "network"
(through a proxy) if I
set up the network either from the menus or by hand.
The proxy replies pongs to the ping packets.

I had a similar problem with the potato boot floppies back a while ago, and
one Debian developer (Marcel Harkema) was very kind and corrected it in a
few days.
Could this error originating from the same problem?

Please correct, I can not install Debian stable here, in the company.
Thanks a lot.

BR,

Csan
