Re: Proxy and APT

["Sanjeev Gupta" <ghane@iname.com>]

I persume that you are running squid (3128)?

I have not used squid myself, do you require to "login"?  Do you have access
to the squid logs?  What is your client sending?

You can add, at the bottom of apt.conf:

Debug
{
  Acquire::Ftp "true";    // Show ftp command traffic
}

Sorry, I cant think of anything more right now, the Debian boxes I
administer are all either directly on the Net, or IP Masq-ed.

My problem is:
alhmngsrv:/home/javier# apt-get update
Err ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org frozen/main Packages
  Protocol corruption


            <Similar stuff snipped>

This is my apt.conf file:

Acquire
{
  Queue-Mode "host";       // host|access
  Retries "0";
  Source-Symlinks "true";

  // HTTP method configuration
  http
  {
    Proxy "http://javier:alhsys@192.168.1.180:3128/";;
    Timeout "120";
    Pipeline-Depth "5";

    // Cache Control. Note these do not work with Squid 2.0.2
    No-Cache "false";
    Max-Age "86400";     // 1 Day age on index files
    No-Store "false";    // Prevent the cache from storing archives
  };
  ftp
  {
    Proxy "ftp://192.168.1.180:3128/";;
    ProxyLogin
    {
"USER $(PROXY_USER)";
"PASS $(PROXY_PASS)";
    };
  };
};

And this is my sources.list file:
deb ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian frozen main contrib non-free


Ihave the env variables:
export PROXY_USER=javier
export PROXY_PASS=alhsys
