(2) the wget operation is in fact asynchronous, and by the time I rerun
- 5 seconds later - the wget for 'Release' has by then completed. This
is just a wild guess, and may be way off-target.
Now I think about it a bit more I realise aptitude almost certainly
*isn't* using wget ... the proxy specification is in apt.conf, not
.wgetrc. Must be own code ....
