[Bug 1766542] Re: Installation blocks when the machine is behind a proxy server

[Julian Andres Klode]

I don't think we can realistically go lower than 2x30s - I think the
intention is to add the mirror and security separately and comment them
out if they don't work or something, so they need to be in seperate apt
runs. Unless, of course, we write a tool in python or something that
does update there and inspects failures and checks which hosts errored
out; then we can do it in one.

  Installation blocks when the machine is behind a proxy server

Bug description:
  When the machine is behind a proxy server, the installation will block
  for a while (several minutes) to retrieve the package lists. The
  timeouts are too long and makes user feels the machine may have some
  problems.

  The symptom is similar with bug #14599, but it seems the apt-setup
  module was rewritten.

  Another method to trigger this issue is to make the machine cannot
  access to the Internet, for instance: a wrong gateway.
