I had to tweak the time outs a bit, as I quickly get some errors from the networking stack (like 7s or so), but I could successfully verify the fix now, using a standard ubuntu:bionic lxd container, and modifying the routes, and setting a lower timeout:

[Regression potential] APT will not attempt to retry the host given that it could not connect to it for previous entries. If your network recovered in the meantime, it might update less than previously. [Original bug report] When the machine is behind a proxy server, the installation will block for a while (several minutes) to retrieve the package lists. The timeouts are too long and makes user feels the machine may have some problems. The symptom is similar with bug #14599, but it seems the apt-setup module was rewritten. Another method to trigger this issue is to make the machine cannot access to the Internet, for instance: a wrong gateway.
