If you are still not able to upload a package even if I say 'fixed for
me', then clean the apt cache :

apt-get clean

Proxy server is also a problem. Comment (if defined) the Acquire line in
/etc/apt/apt.conf

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://<proxy>:<port>/";

disable proxy server from the command line :

http_proxy="" apt-get install <package>

otherwise use KDE or GNOME tools to temporally disable http proxy.
