Small bit of background. Wheezy has no problem at all using the proxy.
Nor does Ubuntu, SUSE or Centos. Every Jessie install I have built has
been unable to use the proxy. It basically stops at "Hit
http://security.debian.org jessie/updates/main Translation-en" at
"100% [Waiting for headers]"
The squid logs are not showing any issues. I have configured the proxy
settings for apt in various ways depending on which article I am
currently looking at. None so far have been able to correct the problem.
If I configure wgetrc to use the proxy, wget can successfully download
the file. My current workaround is a list of systems which bypass the
proxy altogether. This works fine but is not a long term solution by
any stretch. So below are the various entries I have made so far in my
attempts to configure apt
/etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.8.6:3128/";;
Acquire::https::Proxy "http://192.168.8.6:3128/";;
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://192.168.8.6:3128/";;
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.8.6:3128";;
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf
// Pre-configure all packages with debconf before they are installed.
// If you don't like it, comment it out.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true";};
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.8.6:3128";;

Before anyone points it out, we use a /22 so the system can resolve
the proxy with no problems.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Ok. Having seen this problem for about a year and a half, I have found a
semi-solution. The problem only seems to affect ftp.uk.debian.org. If I
change the repos to point to ftp.us.debian.org the problem magically
goes away. Not tried any other locale. Still none the wiser as to what
the real underlying problem is so any insights would still be very welcome.
