Found it ...
We are behind a http proxy server... and (obviously 
) I had set the http_proxy environment variable in my .bashrc.
Hence when it came to to do the test ... if was trying to go via the proxy and failed...
Deleted those enviromment variables and put the proxy in the apt.conf (?). This helped a lot and it is still installing.
Of course all of the wgets and curls are now failing ... hence it complains. Is that a bad thing ? I can work around the wgets in the install script.. but the curl ?
When I get it working .. what are the ramifications .. do not really want the double hop to the proxy, Even if I can make the proxy tranparent ... IF you know what I mean.
Cheers
