I am seeing the same issue on 7 Ubuntu 25.04 VMs on my Proxmox host. This started when I upgraded them to 25.04 from 24.10.

[botus99]

I am also getting this error using nala v0.15.4 and apt v2.9.33 on Debian Testing. Started getting this error a few days ago.

[onefish2]

Forgot to mention. I was seeing this same error on Debian Trixie for the past few weeks as well.

[Cisien]

I see this on Debian SID as well with nala 0.15.4

[botus99]

UPDATE: This fixed it for me...

original comment from gitlab

Daltux@daltux
Changing /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nala/downloader.py line 406 indeed fixes the issue on Debian "trixie/sid".
The diff is:

user@host:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nala$ diff downloader.py.bak downloader.py
406c406
< 				proxies=self.proxy,
---
> 				mounts=self.proxy,

Let's hope the package is soon updated on Debian repository anyway.
Thank you very much for the tip!

I simply changed /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nala/downloader.py at line 406 to mounts=self.proxy. Boom, nala works again.

[onefish2]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[Desmo5574]

Running Debian Sid/trixie and have had his this problem for the past 3 weeks or so. The fix from @botus99 did the trick for me.
Back to using my beloved nala again...

Here too, tnx for this

[iller7]

Thank you for this, much appreciated!

[QinCai-rui]

Thanks! had the same issue on Ubuntu 25.05! interestingly, nala was working on Trixie for me

[QinCai-rui]

closing this #66

[yscialom]

It appears this issue is fixed on the current version.

nala/nala/downloader.py on main:

		with Live(get_renderable=self._gen_table, refresh_per_second=10) as self.live:
			async with AsyncClient(
				timeout=20,
				mounts=self.proxy,
				follow_redirects=True,

Blame points to e12ce19 "fix(downloader): proxies deprecation" 2025-03-19.

I suggest to close this issue.

mounts=self.proxy

Thanks! The same error on Ubuntu, now I can install packages again!
