After running chroot, did you try re-establishing the proxy configuration?

Our Live Image maintainer is currently busy working through issues to get a new Live Image out for GParted 0.24.0.  'Hopefully he will have some time to look into this issue after that.

I managed to workaround this issue with copying my apt.conf to the chroot folder.
edit /usr/sbin/create-gparted-live and add :

cp /etc/apt/apt.conf chroot/etc/apt/apt.conf

* add this line just before "$pref lb build" command

make sure your  /etc/apt/apt.conf is configured to handle proxy as below for example:

Acquire::http::proxy "your-proxy-server";


Enjoy smile
