Bug Description
I was able to replicate this on two boxes within my home environment.
When doing a clean, straightforward
After changing repositories, and even blacklisting ip6, I still couldn't get the package manager (I tried both the add/remove interface, the synaptic interface, and the command line apt-get interface, all of them failed).
I found a clue here: http://
As it turns out for some reason the installation inserts a single line into the file at:
/etc/apt/apt.conf
the line is:
Acquire:
Once I removed that line, everything worked fine.
I did a fresh install on a second box, had the same problem, removed *only* that line and everything worked again.
I'm on an internal network, 192.x.x.x, I don't know if there's something to my environment that caused it to want to do that.
Otherwise totally awesome experience btw. Please keep up the good work.
