Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
I am using apt-cacher so I have put Acquire::http { Proxy "http://
Yesterday I downloaded bind9 which has installed itself and started. I haven't had time yet to configure for my local domain but I noticed that when I did an apt-get update, it wasn't going through apt-cacher.
I also downloaded squid-deb-proxy to have a look at (which I haven't configured).
apt-get update spat out a "service_browser failed: DNS failure: NXDOMAIN" error.
I shut down bind, commented out #Acquire:
While I appreciate that I have some configuration work to do. Whatever is the causes of the failure message, whether it be bind not configued or squid-deb-proxy not configured, the original Proxy line in the apt.conf file should be observed?
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
For clarification, your bug is about apt being more resilient towards configuration errors in other components, like squid-deb-proxy and apt-cacher?
