Just to clarify, you mean you are setting http_proxy in the shell environment for apt-get or aptitude? What are you setting it to? I am running 1.6.1 here with Acquire::http::Proxy "http://localhost:3142" in /etc/apt/apt.conf with no problems. Could you enable debugging and send me the error.log file Thanks, Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
