I think I found it. My NO_PROXY environment variable had a list of hosts ending in ",":
jo...@transwarp:/tmp/bzr-2.1.1$ echo $NO_PROXY localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local,*.oracle.com,*.oraclecorp.com,infraworklist,wiki,trat,tendril,infradb01,bkstage,*.jrpg.bea.com,*.bea.com,reporting,qareport,devportal,monitor, If I remove the trailing comma from $NO_PROXY I can create the branch. So the issue is that bzr needs to handle trailing commas (and probably consecutive commas as well) in *PROXY and *proxy environment variables. -- Bzr 2.1.1 broken through HTTP proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586341 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
