I can't reproduce this behaviour here, what did your http_proxy environment variable look like?
My http_proxy is as follows: topa@XXXXX:~$ echo $http_proxy toufeeq_hussain:XXXXXX_123@192.168.127.34:80 This is the procedure I'm currently following to reproduce this bug. 1. mv /etc/apt/apt.conf /etc/apt/apt.conf.test 2. export http_proxy="http://toufeeq_hussain:password_123@192.168.101.1:80"; 3. apt-get update 4.

Done E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. 5. So, I revert my apt.conf to the normal self. 6. mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.test /etc/apt/apt.conf 7. And then apt-get works. topa@hostname:~$ sudo apt-get update Get: 1 http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable Release.gpg [189B] Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable Release Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/contrib Packages Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages Fetched 189B in 2s (66B/s) Reading package lists...
