I try re-running 'apt-get update' multiple times, i tried 'apt-key update', but still get the same error. Its been like this for the past 12 hours now, yesterday it was fine.

*

Would anyone be kind enough to give me some insight as to what's happened? Its not isolated, all my Debian boxes are affected. Is the security mirror synching or some other issue? Is this a temporal issue?

*

Many thanks in advance,

*

Chris

It works for me. Maybe it was a temporary network problem. Try again.

Hmmm, this turned out to be my ever so crap ISP's transparent proxy...*I*checked with another debian box*outside of their network and apt-get was fine.

*

Is this usual?*Very frustrating and a lot of time wasted because of this annoying proxy.
