You set a proxy on localhost:8080 somewhere, and that proxy does probably not exist. Do you intend to use a local proxy? If not, try export http_proxy="" followed by sudo apt-get update

  • Do you intend to use a local proxy (that is not working), or do you not intend to use one?

  • type export |grep -i proxy, does that return something? Also, check /etc/environment for proxy settings
