My understanding is that apt-get is supposed to pick up the proxy settings from fink.conf. Users have reported problems in the past in which the binary distribution wasn't usable for them, however. When you're updating the descriptions, are you doing this in Fink Commander, or from the Terminal? And what OS and fink version are you on? e.g. sw_vers and fink --version 10.4.9 did some nasty things to its sudo that can cause older Fink stuff to be unhappy. -- Alexander K.
