I exited to shell and created the directory apt.conf.d in /etc and put

Still doesn't seem to work.
From "man apt.conf"
THE ACQUIRE GROUP

http::Proxy sets the default proxy to use for HTTP URIs. It
is in
the standard form of http://[[user][:pass]@]host[:port]/
Note the trailing slash, so it would be
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://CacheServerIp:3142/";;
It can't work as the snippet name is in the wrong format
The correct snippet name is /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/NNproxy
where NN is a number e.g.:-
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90proxy
Scott, could you explain that a little more? In "man apt.conf" there is
no mentioning of numbers; they would only help with making the
"alphanumeric ascending order" more visible:
When an APT tool starts up it will read the configuration files
in the
following order:
1. the file specified by the APT_CONFIG environment variable
(if any)
2. all files in Dir::Etc::Parts in alphanumeric ascending order
which
have either no or "conf" as filename extension and which only
contain alphanumeric, hyphen (-), underscore (_) and period (.)
characters.

Disclaimer: I'm using the older "apt-cacher" instead of "apt-cacher-ng"
and there are subtle differences in syntax.
