apt expects information regarding proxy servers to be in the following form:
root@flash:/etc/apt# cat apt.conf APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; Acquire::http::proxy "http://192.68.10.1:3128/";; Acquire::https::proxy "https://192.68.10.1:3128/";; Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://192.68.10.1:3128/";; Acquire::socks::proxy "socks://192.68.10.1:3128/"; In Ubuntu 12.04, if you set up a network proxy in system settings this will be set for you in /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/environment. I personally don't have access to a proxy requiring authentication so if you could test this with even a Live CD of Ubuntu 12.04 that would be great.
