Bug#563771: apt: method http has failed unexpectedly on a virtual machine

[Jérme Avond <j.avond@axolys.fr>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.23.1
Severity: normal


aptitude update
and 
apt-get update

send me the same error as in subject, 

It works now because i launch the vm with qemu instead of kvm.


With kvm the vm did an error on apt-get update

With qemu the vm's apt works nice.

This bugs is resolved but i need to understand the reason why.

For information my hosts' cpu didn't have the virtualisations flags...

Thanks for answers,

Regards,
