Then I did 'aptitude update' and here is the full output: eeepc:/etc/apt# aptitude update Err http://dl.google.com stable Release.gpg Cannot initiate the connection to 8118:80 (0.0.31.182). - connect (22 Invalid argument) Err http://dl.google.com stable/main Translation-en_US Cannot initiate the connection to 8118:80 (0.0.31.182). - connect (22 Invalid argument) Ign http://dl.google.com stable Release Ign http://dl.google.com stable/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://dl.google.com stable/main Packages Ign http://dl.google.com stable/main Packages Err http://dl.google.com stable/main Packages Cannot initiate the connection to 8118:80 (0.0.31.182). - connect (22 Invalid argument) Err http://ftp.debian.org squeeze Release.gpg Cannot initiate the connection to 8118:80 (0.0.31.182). - connect (22 Invalid argument) Err http://ftp.debian.org squeeze/main Translation-en_US Cannot initiate the connection to 8118:80 (0.0.31.182). - connect (22 Invalid argument) Ign http://ftp.debian.org squeeze Release Ign http://ftp.debian.org squeeze/main Packages Ign http://ftp.debian.org squeeze/main Packages Err http://ftp.debian.org squeeze/main Packages Cannot initiate the connection to 8118:80 (0.0.31.182). - connect (22 Invalid argument) Hit ftp://ftp.us.debian.org lenny Release.gpg Get:1 ftp://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Translation-en_US Ign ftp://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Translation-en_US Hit ftp://ftp.us.debian.org lenny Release Get:2 ftp://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign ftp://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages/DiffIndex Get:3 ftp://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Sources/DiffIndex Ign ftp://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Sources/DiffIndex Hit ftp://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages Hit ftp://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Sources Reading package lists...
