Bug#112968: apt: Error when parsing ftp_proxy env. variable
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: normal
A very strange bug. I have FTP URLs in sources.list and I proxy them
via the HTTP proxy Squid (yes, the man page of apt says it is slow).
If my ftp_proxy is without dot:
export ftp_proxy=http://proxy-interxion:3128/
it works fine but if I use the same machine with a FQDN:
export ftp_proxy=http://proxy-interxion.gitoyen.net:3128/
it fails. Do note that this is really the same proxy:
machoke:~/tmp % ping -c 1 proxy-interxion.gitoyen.net
PING machoke.gitoyen.net (80.67.160.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 80.67.160.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.0 ms
machoke:~/tmp % ping -c 1 proxy-interxion
PING machoke.gitoyen.net (80.67.160.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 80.67.160.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.0 ms
When I use the FQDN, the symptoms are that that apt displays "Logging
in" during a very long time then:
Err ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org woody/main kdebase-libs 4:2.1.1.0-10
Server closed the connection
I have the feeling I made a stupid mistake Somewhere but I cannot find where.
sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
