Public bug reported: apt uses proxy in order to access local resources. This leads to errors when the proxy is configured to allow only access to the resources that apt is actually expected to be trying to reach.
Steps to reproduce: - In VirtualBox install Ubuntu 21.10, Minimal installation. - In Terminal run: sudo apt install squid-deb-proxy squid-deb-proxy-client sudo apt update After the last step, apt is trying to use the installed squid-deb-proxy, but it fails, because the proxy is configured to allow access only to the mirrors, but apt is trying to use it also to access the locally available keys. As a workaround, the proxy configuration can be changed to accept any connection: in /etc/squid-deb-proxy/squid-deb-proxy.conf replace the line: 'http_access deny !to_archive_mirrors' with 'http_access allow all' run 'sudo systemctl restart squid-deb-proxy' Now, 'sudo apt update' will succeed. While what I managed to "correct" the issue by amending squid-deb-proxy configuration, I believe that it is a bug in apt that uses the proxy when not appropriate.
