I had the same problem, and in my particular case it was related to corporate proxy.
I setup cntlm to see if it would fix the issue but had no effect (other than enable apt-get from command line :) ) To "fix" the problem, I just set "Direct connection to the internet" under Edit->Preferences , Network Preferences in Evolution and all is working fine now. Hope it helps someone on the same situation.
