I am trying to install some software in a fresh install of Linux dnoseda 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux. I already set the variables http_proxy, https_proxy and ftp_proxy and wget works perfectly.

But when I try with apt-get it blocks trying to conect directly to the site, without the proxy. Or the other behavior that I got is a lots of 407 authentication errors. But the wget of those packages works perfectly.

It's something missing? Can you help me?

thanks in advance.

You need to set the apt-parameters:

Acquire::http { Proxy "http://proxy:port"; };

inside a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90proxy file or similar.

edit: you need to do an apt-get update after changing the settings.

The file doesn't exists.Do I have to create 90proxy? – damian May 26 '10 at 15:13
it works! but now dpkg doesn't work. It still trying to make a direct internet connection :( – damian May 26 '10 at 15:34
dpkg shouldn't be connecting to the network. it should be using the packages that are downloaded. did you do an apt-get update after changing the settings. – sybreon May 27 '10 at 1:26

Do you have those exported as root? or do you have them set as the user and using sudo apt-get?

If you are using sudo.. place the lines in 

/etc/profile

Thanks. I'm using sudo. I'm going to try to export the proxies variables in /etc/profile. Then I'm going to update the status. – damian May 26 '10 at 14:10
It doesn't work, even after reboot. It seems to try to do a direct connection with the urls – damian May 26 '10 at 15:14
