Title:
  unable to fetch new meta-release-development file through otherwise
  functional apt-cacher

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  problem: running "update-manager -d" on an intrepid system 
  - does not offer the upgrade to jaunty
  - does not display an error message

  the apt-cacher log has an error message:

  Wed Apr 15 17:46:17 2009|warn [9855]: POSIX syntax [: :] belongs
  inside character classes in regex; marked by <-- HERE in
  m/(Index|Packages.gz|Packages.bz2|Release|Release.gpg|Sources.gz|Sources.bz2|Contents-.+\.gz|pkglist.*\.bz2|release$|release\..*|srclist.*\.bz2|Translation-.+\.bz2|[:alpha:]
  <-- HERE *\.tar\.gz\.gpg$)$/ at /usr/share/apt-cacher//apt-cacher-
  lib.pl line 360.

  fetching of packages through the apt-cacher works without problems

  setting http_proxy to point to another proxy makes "update-manager -d"
  work again, as this obviously overrides the proxy configuration in
  /etc/apt/apt.conf.

  I will append apt.conf and apt-cacher.conf.

  update-manager should somehow complain if it can not access the
  ressources it needs to.
