503 service unavailable when doing apt-get update

This is a problem with the Ubuntu archive mirror that you are using, de.archive.ubuntu.com

If this is still a problem you could find an alternative mirror, or just use archive.ubuntu.com.

(clicked too early!)

Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all the occurrences of de.archive.ubuntu.com with archive.ubuntu.com.

Hi Julian,

thanx for your answer.
Unfortunately this is only on error which I put in my question for further information - but seems not to be valuable.

The second message

W: Fehlschlag beim Holen von http://ppa.launchpad.net/samba-team/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 503 Service Unavailable

is the one which I hope to get answered here.
With Firefox I can browse this URL. But apt-get update gives me this error.

How can I solve this warning for fetching from launchpad.

It sounds like you have a (possibly transparent proxy in the way). Since you can browse the URL via Firefox, check Firefox's proxy settings and then you can set http_proxy in your environment for apt-get to use.

This is not a Launchpad problem.

Julian,

Yes I use a transparent proxy.
I put the following in /etc/apt/apt.conf:

Acquire::http::proxy "http://111.222.111.222:8080";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "http://111.222.111.222:8080";

But this does not work.
Any suggestions?

Regards,

I am out of suggestions, sorry. You're better off asking a question on askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.com I think, as this is a help service for Launchpad itself rather than Ubuntu.

Good luck.
