I can't reproduce this behaviour here, what did your http_proxy
environment variable look like?
My http_proxy is as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $http_proxy
toufeeq_hussain:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:80
This is the procedure I'm currently following to reproduce this bug.
1. mv /etc/apt/apt.conf /etc/apt/apt.conf.test
2. export http_proxy="http://toufeeq_hussain:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:80"
3. apt-get update
4. This results in :

Reading package lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
5. So, I revert my apt.conf to the normal self.
6. mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.test /etc/apt/apt.conf
7. And then apt-get works.
