apt-cyg hangs

[kou1okada]

Thanks for reporting a problem.

But, hmm,,, I'm sorry.
It seems that PROXY auto-detection mechanism with WPAD missed to detect the PROXY.
The full set version of WPAD needs JavaScript, but the current implementation does not have it.
It's implemented to be simplified by string search for finding PROXY URL.
So, it can not be resolve the any logic to select PROXYs.

I suggest two temporary solutions as below:

1. Disable the PROXY auto-detection, if your network environment does not need PROXY.
2. Set a PROXY manually, if your network environment needs PROXY.

You can use -p option or APT_CYG_PROXY environment variable, to configure these settings.
For details, see PROXY support section in the README.md.

Yes, that was it.

Setting

export APT_CYG_PROXY=none

fixes the issue. Weird, didn't change anything proxy related in while...

Thank you!

Maybe, you can see the WPAD script in your environment by below command:

wget --no-verbose --no-proxy -q -O - wpad/wpad.dat

Check it up, if you feel weird.

Just an emtpy line...

$ wget --no-verbose --no-proxy -q -O - wpad/wpad.dat

$

How about below command: (-q option is replaced by -v option)

wget --no-verbose --no-proxy -v -O - wpad/wpad.dat

If your environment does not have the WPAD server, you will see result as below:

--2017-06-07 16:49:40--  http://wpad/wpad.dat
Resolving wpad... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘wpad’

Otherwise, if your environment has the WPAD server but the WPAD script is not supplied, you will see result as below:

--2017-06-07 16:52:07--  http://wpad/wpad.dat
Resolving wpad... xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Connecting to wpad|xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|:80... connected.

No wapd:

 wget --no-verbose --no-proxy -v -O - wpad/wpad.dat
--2017-06-07 11:01:43--  http://wpad/wpad.dat
Resolving wpad... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘wpad’

To add insult, since exporting proxy none I was able to run dist-upgrade again and my issue went away. (I ensured APT_CYG_PROXY is not set anymore)

Hmm,,,
I guess that when you had the problem, your environment has the WPAD server and the WPAD script, maybe...
But now, it doesn't have it, certainly.

Thanks.
