Re: HELP! apt stops working!
This is probably a bug in apt. I have already filled a bug report against it...
I guess your isp, or your internet connection is running a cisco web caching engine.
I soon discovered that apt still works with my other isp. I then investigated each
isp. One isp is not running proxy at all, the other one running a proxy using squid,
and the one does not work running a transparent web proxy using cisco web caching engine.
I don't know much about this kind of cisco product, but from your email address, you
probably know what is going on. If you know the details how the cisco thing works,
plz let the debian apt folks know...
I am sure this will be fixed soon...
