My sys (raring) is proxy client of my another machine hosting apt cacher. I'm trying to do-release-upgrage and console saying 403, Sorry, not allowed to fetch that type of file: saucy.tar.gz and the command fails. (Im sure I can get out of this issue if I remove the proxy setting in my apt.conf.d but I really need to cache everything too.)

The version of apt-cacher running on the proxy host is out of date.
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600893 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher/+bug/561902.
In my case I found that because I had modified /etc/apt-cacher/apt-cacher.conf on my proxy host, regular apt[itude] upgrades had not updated apt-cacher.conf.
I found apt-cacher.conf.dpkg-dist in the same directory, used diff to determine which settings I needed to keep, then updated apt-cacher.conf.
Since I'm updating to Trusty, I also added it to the "ubuntu_release_names" list in the same file, restarted apt-cacher and all is well.
(My proxy is running 12.10)
