error using branch behind proxy

[Jeff Cunningham]

Hi;

I've just started using bazaar. 0.14 installed okay on a Gentoo system
- local installation in this case. I could create a repository, add
stuff, etc. 

I then installed it on a Windows machine with your installer and
successfully created a local branch of the repo I just created.


But when I went to another account on the same Gentoo machine,
installed the same bzr source, and tried to grab the branch, it failed
with the following error message:

bzr: ERROR: exceptions.TypeError: iterable argument required

** please send this report to bazaar at lists.ubuntu.com


It does works if I do it using sftp://... , but not via http. I'm
running apache to expose the repo, and that obviously works because
the Windows client worked.

I browsed through some of the list archives and spotted this one:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/bazaar/2007q1/022220.html

I made that change but it didn't fix my problem.  
I can't update my copy of bzr using bzr because of the catch-22. 

Any advice? I am behind a firewall here. http_proxy is set correctly and works as it should for everything else. The last line in the error message makes it look like it has something to do with 'set_proxy'. 

I don't know python, so I'm pretty useless at troubleshooting this beyond here.
