The "permanent" solution to this is to add two lines to the end of /etc/bash.bashrc:
export http_proxy=http://username
assword@proxyserver.net
ort/
export ftp_proxy=http://username
assword@proxyserver.netport/
On subsequent sessions, your proxys will work with apt-get. I was surprised that the "global" proxy settings did not seem to apply to some terminal session operations, like apt-get.

Although I had defined a proxy on the ubuntu install, and apt-get was working OK, I remembered something about proxy settings for apt-get. This error seemed to be a similar proxy problem so I hunted about and found this:-

At command line I entered:-
export http_proxy=http://username assword@proxyserver.net ort/
(check the article; you don't need to specify the username assword@ part if your proxy is not configured with a username and password)
e.g.
export http_proxy=http://sample.com:8080/
sudo ltsp-build-client then worked OK. |
