Bug Description
Hi,
just a detail I noticed during an upgrade of Kubuntu 25.04 to 25.10 with do-release-update -d :
The updater failed here, because it tried to fetch
https:/
and used the proxy given in /etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire:
Acquire:
but ignored
Acquire::ForceIPv4 true;
Therefore, it used an official IPv6 address instead of the RFC1918 ipv4 address or a site-local ipv6, and the proxy denied, since its use is restricted to local addresses.
If the upgrader takes the proxy settings from apt.conf, it should honor all settings.
Easy to fix, but it easily could keep users from updating if they don't understand this cause.
regards
