You sent me this reply a while ago. Up till now I haven't had to use it, but today I needed to, but had this problem with it: Err http://www.au.debian.org stable/main stow 1.3.2-11 407 Proxy authorization required Failed to fetch http://www.au.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/a dmin/stow_1.3.2-11.deb 407 Proxy authorization required E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe try with --fix-missing? The problem is due to the fact that my http proxy sometimes asks for authorization. Under netscape it pops up a dialog box asking for my name and a password. I am presuming this capability hasn't been built into apt. Any chance that it will be soon?
