I run a Debian derivative on a portable memory stick and I have to connect through an ISA proxy server (both http and ftp).
The proxy is broken and misconfigured so it won't download any .gz files, hence I can't apt-get. I have reported the case and the possible solution to system administrator, who is happily ignoring it, so I have to live with that. I can download .deb files so I can install individual packages, but I can't update/upgrade. I just wonder if anyone has a possible workaround on my end, before giving up.
