In Ubuntu Jaunty (APT Proxy version 1.9.36.3+mnu1)

I've got this message since many upgrade package with python 2.6 :

Hi all,

This problem does not seem to be new, and I did not find any official solution, even on a fully patched server.

Here is the workaround I would suggest: stop the APT-Proxy service, and then comment the line
from twisted.manhole.telnet import ShellFactory
at the top of the executable file of APT-proxy (something like /usr/sbin/apt-proxy huh?). .

After that, you should see a clean start of APT-proxy:
Starting apt-proxy:None
None
.

This works on Debian Lenny, that should be the same on Ubuntu.

Obviously, we will need to keep an eye on it, until the next APT-proxy release or update.

IHTH.
Cheers,
Ph. VIALLE
