I guess there are these three lines to uncomment in /etc/wgetrc ------ Original ------ #http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/ #ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
#use_proxy = on ------------------------- ----- Changed------- http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/ ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/ use_proxy = on ------------------------- Hopefully this should work ? And I have noticed that to allow apt-get/aptitude to also use the proxy, the proxy settings in Synaptic also need to be changed. Wonder why, especially because the GNOME system-wide proxy settings have already been set but wget nor Synaptic follow those ! P.S. I currently do not have access to a system behind a proxy so I cannot test it :| -- wget does not use network proxy in some cases https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232469 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Debian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
