I am using Ubuntu 11.04. I am behind a proxy with authentication to connect to the Internet. I had set up the system-wide proxy via System Settings. But Synaptic Package Manager did not take the proxy. So I configured the settings in the Synaptic for the proxy and auth. It worked.
Now the proxy's username and password got changed. I updated the proxy and auth in both Synaptic and System-wide settings. But when I reload or install any packages in Synaptic, it is now throwing this error. "Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/ binary-i386/Packages 407 Proxy Authentication Required" Then I tried setting the http, ftp and https proxies in /etc/apt/apt.conf file in the format. Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port/";; Acquire::ftp::Proxy "ftp://username:password@proxy:port/";; Acquire::https::Proxy "https://username:password@proxy:port/";; Now I tried apt-get install. It also threw the same error. Note that there is no problem with the proxy server, as I am able to access the Internet via Firefox. Could anyone help on this ?
