Squid can work as an FTP proxy, and I imagine in your case it probably does. Try setting it and trying the pkg_add command again.
Additionally, you'll want to make sure that your proxy environment variables are being passed through sudo. If sudo is configured to use env_reset and env_keep and it isn't retaining those variables then the proxy won't be used at all. -Eugene On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 1:42 PM, Stefan Wollny <stefan.wol...@web.de> wrote: > Am 02/17/15 um 22:20 schrieb Gene: > > It looks like http_proxy is being set, but you're getting packages from > an > > ftp server.
