Proxy – wget Works with Company Proxy but apt-get and dpkg Don’t

aptPROXY

I am trying to install some software in a fresh install of Linux dnoseda 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux.
I already set the variables http_proxy, https_proxy and ftp_proxy and wget works perfectly.

But when I try with apt-get it blocks trying to conect directly to the site, without the proxy. Or the other behavior that I got is a lots of 407 authentication errors. But the wget of those packages works perfectly.

It's something missing? Can you help me?

thanks in advance.

You need to set the apt-parameters:

Acquire::http { Proxy "http://proxy:port"; };

inside a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90proxy file or similar.

edit: you need to do an apt-get update after changing the settings.
