When I try to do nearly anything with aptitude I get

To me that looks like you have a http_proxy environment variable set. I
think Synaptic and aptitude honour that. Or you have set the
corresponding option in apt.conf.

Thanks for the pointer! That was the problem, although I have no idea
where the settings came from as I don't have to use proxies.
These are the settings:
HTTP_PROXY='http://localhost:4001 '
http_proxy='http://localhost:4001 '
Does that look familiar to anybody?
Many thanks, "J.", it works much better now!
