The bug lies in the interaction of both packages. apt-listbugs, very sensibly, uses apt's configured http cache to try to access the bts.
apt-cacher, very sensibly, refuses to serve such request. The whole thing interacts badly with apt-listbugs' inability to parse error responses (#245232) and to fail sensibly on the face of too many errors (#259753) A workaround is to use apt-cacher not in proxy mode, but by modifying sources.list -- Rodrigo Gallardo PGP Key ID: ADC9BC28 Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28 http://www.nul-unu.com http://www.nul-unu.com/blogs/elucubrando
