And I have noticed that to allow apt-get/aptitude to also use the proxy, the proxy settings in Synaptic also need to be changed.
Wonder why, especially because the GNOME system-wide proxy settings have already been set but wget nor Synaptic follow those !
P.S. I currently do not have access to a system behind a proxy so I cannot test it :|
I guess there are these three lines to uncomment in /etc/wgetrc
------ Original ------ proxy.yoyodyne. com:18023/ proxy.yoyodyne. com:18023/
#http_proxy = http://
#ftp_proxy = http://
#use_proxy = on ------- ------- ----

----- Changed------- proxy.yoyodyne. com:18023/ proxy.yoyodyne. com:18023/
http_proxy = http://
ftp_proxy = http://
use_proxy = on ------- ------- ----
-------
Hopefully this should work ?
