[Bug 827627] Re: apt should be able to use an opportunistic cache/proxy

[Javier Domingo]

that relies on an avahi implementation. I am using a much more simpler
proxy, less dependant on other packages, apt-cacher-ng. There is a bug
onto this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squid-deb-
proxy/+bug/529897

The main problem for me is that I don't rely in other servers than mine,
so I just want my mirror or nothing. Auto-detecting proxies wouldn't
give me that option.

Title:
  apt should be able to use an opportunistic cache/proxy

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  apt-get can use a HTTP proxy if on is configured in its settings, but
  then it fails if the proxy is unavailable.

  Would be nice (and save ubuntu's server resources) if apt-get could
  use a proxy/cache opportunisticly, i.e. use it if available and access
  the repositories directly otherwise.

  regards
