I cannot get apt-get to work with an HTTP proxy. I'm using squid as the proxy server.
I issue the following commands: export http_proxy="http://server:3128/"; (where server is the name of the proxy machine) apt-get install blah (where blah is an actual package name :-) And I get the following: Err http://http.us.debian.org stable/main wget 1.5.3-1.1 504 Gateway Time-out Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/web/wget_1.5.3-1.1.deb 504 Gateway Time-out E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe try with --fix-missing? On the proxy server, looking at /var/log/squid/access.log I see: 316055347.030 119543 xx.xx.xx.xx TCP_MISS/504 1161 GET http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/web/wget_1.5.3-1.1.deb - DIRECT/http.us.debian.org - When I test the proxy with lynx it works fine.
