You set a proxy on localhost:8080 somewhere, and that proxy does probably not exist. Do you intend to use a local proxy? If not, try export http_proxy="" followed by sudo apt-get update

Unfortunately this didn't solve my problem Thank you – Salman Ahmad Jul 20 '14 at 02:21
Do you intend to use a local proxy (that is not working), or do you not intend to use one? – noleti Jul 20 '14 at 02:24
I don't intend to use one – Salman Ahmad Jul 20 '14 at 02:25
type export |grep -i proxy, does that return something? Also, check /etc/environment for proxy settings – noleti Jul 20 '14 at 02:27
also, http://askubuntu.com/questions/229369/problem-prevents-the-update-or-installation-of-new-software?rq=1 is related, have a look there – noleti Jul 20 '14 at 02:30
Ok, great. How did you solve it in the end? – noleti Jul 20 '14 at 02:37
In network Settings >> Network Proxy Method was manual i changed it to none And it worked :D – Salman Ahmad Jul 20 '14 at 02:42
