security/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages 307 Proxy Redirect [IP:
91.189.91.15 80]
This error is repeated for several other packages. I am working from behind a https proxy. I have tried various things based on suggestions in posted in various forums including the following:
Set up the details of proxy server in
I) /etc/apt/apt.conf
II) /etc/bash.bashrc
III) /etc/profile
IV) Environment variablesChange mirror server in /etc/apt/sources.list - all mirrors give the same result. Also everytime I select a new mirror and close, it gives an error "Check your Internet Connection". The internet connection is working fine by the way. I am able to access the sites mentioned in the error message.
Another post suggested altering the /etc/apt/sources.list.save file to remove all additional / in all the entries. For eg:
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy main restricted altered to deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy main restricted
Still no success. Kindly help as I have exhausted all options I came across online. Also I am a newbie so simplification of the reply would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
