This has been giving me problems for several weeks and I was beginning to despair of gettign a solution (meaning I would have to give in to my peers and install RHEL)

Using a Bluecoat proxy at work I tried the suggestions to run the following commands with no success:-
  sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True
  sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true

Following advice above from William Ferguson to use a different proxy I am now getting sucessfull updates. This is repeatable across several machines in my VMWare farm.

We also have a number of squid proxies in several countries and I confirmed it's an issue with at least 1 (but not all) of them. Unfortunately I don't think I can get the version's or config details.
