Hi,

bin hier auf der Arbeit leider hinter einem Proxy und hatte auch in der Vergangenheit schon das Problem, dass ich aus einer chroot heraus kein apt nutzen konnte, da er sich die Release nicht ziehen kann:

I: Retrieving Release
E: Failed getting release file http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/Release
Failed to create chroot, aborting.

Hast du hier zufällig eine Idee?

Grüße
Timo

P.S.
sorry, das "/dists" musst du übersehen. Hatte ich nur testweise eingefügt.

Ich habs gefunden. Unglaublich, nen ganzen Tag mit suchen verbracht, aber irgendwo war dann der richtige Codeschnippsel dabei.

Für alle die es interessiert, so muss folgende Zeile 89 aussehen:

sudo http_proxy="http://<your.proxy.address>:/" debootstrap --variant=buildd...
