Package: apt Version: 0.1.9 since my provider has IP problems, i could anymore connect directly to the debian mirror(s).
therefore, i use the http_proxy=http://my.proxy:8081/ environment variable. apt-get gets the package-descriptions. the proxy learns them. but it seems, that in the next runs of apt-get squid offers always the old files. i need an option for using a proxy and to tell to the proxy not to use it's cache for the update of the package-descriptions. on the other hand, a cache *is* useful for the debian _packages_, and since updates of the packages have different filenames, a cachet http-get will work in that case. furthermore, due to my problems, my apt-update restricts on mirrors that have http access. i'd like to use (squid-)proxied ftp, but apt's ftp does not handle it. thus, i'm notable to use my nearest mirror :( cheers, - thomas osterried <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- System Information Debian Release: slink Kernel Version: Linux x-berg 2.0.33 #5 Mon Apr 27 16:02:04 CEST 1998 i586 unknown
