The socks4-clients package in unstable includes a runsocks script
that lets you socksify most programs automatically, runsocks dselect
update and runsocks apt-get install lynx for example.

This is what I use at work with our SOCKS firewall.

Hi,

I've got following question:

I' would like to keep my system uptodate using dselect with ftp as
installation source. The problem is that I have to use a Socks proxy. Is
there a socksified version of dpkg-ftp? Or can anyone tell me on how to
socksify dpkg-ftp?

Thanx,
  Stephan
