Hi, I'm having trouble upgrading from Gradle 7 to gradle 8. this is also involving an upgrade to the android gradle plugin from 7 to 8. Normal gradle 7 builds build normally, but when i try to build with gradle 8 it comes up with a bunch of these errors

etc.. this only happens on our build machines, which are configured to use a proxy (cntlm). the proxy configuration (in

.gradle/gradle.properties

) has remained unchanged in the upgrade. any ideas?
