Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Distribution: sid
I used the syntax from the example configure-index.gz for the http
proxy. This does not work when put into practice - ie. I put this into
/etc/apt/apt.conf, and have tried /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf. The
timeout variable is honored, but the Proxy is not. This proxy works if
exported as an environment variable http_proxy.
Acquire
{
http
{ Proxy "http://web-proxy:8088";
Timeout "8";
Pipeline-Depth "5";
};
};
