Do you use a proxy? You seem to have configured a proxy server (http://127.0.0.1:3142) that does not work....

Have you tried uninstalling apt-cacher-ng and also deleting the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01acng?

Can you connect to the Internet without using a proxy server?

I didn't think I was using a proxy. I don't know how that came about, although I had an hint that it might have something to do with it. I followed your suggestions and it seems to work.
I ll mark it as solved.

Thank you.
