Hi list users!
I followed the discussion on apt, and decided to give it a try using it.
OK, I installed everything including synaptic, but I definitely have problem with proxy settings. I can not make apt-get nor synaptic work through an http proxy. ...<CUT>... Best regards,

Have you set the no proxy for gwdg.de or any of the other apt servers via yast (I assume it is yast -> network -> proxy).
No - this part is OK.
More info the file: /usr/share/doc/packages/apt/examples/configure-index, that explain pure apt proxy settings. In the next release of synaptic proxy settings can be configured using the gui....
ftp { Proxy "ftp://127.0.0.1/"; Proxy::http.us.debian.org "DIRECT"; // Specific per-host setting
/* Required script to perform proxy login. This example should work for tisfwtk */ ProxyLogin { "USER $(PROXY_USER)"; "PASS $(PROXY_PASS)"; "USER $(SITE_USER)@$(SITE):$(SITE_PORT)"; "PASS $(SITE_PASS)"; };

I followed your suggestion and edited the conf file properly. But, I am still unable to do the update.
The problem I have here is that I am forced to use http proxy, port 8080, only. There is no ftp proxy on this network!
I can do ftp only via http - e.g. through web browser or such... I also managed to use fou4s and wget for downloads, but with apt/synaptic I have no luck so far. I noticed that apt/synaptic calls ftp program during "update list" process.
It seems that I have to find the way to make ftp work through http proxy...I mean, to force synaptic update list to make an HTTP URL request instead of FTP URL request.
Can you tell me what I am supposed to put in ftp section of my apt.conf file? I tried both
Proxy "ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080";
and
Proxy "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080";
but without success...
Any ideas?
TIA

Variable ftp_proxy should be set to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080, and everything starts to sing happily :-) I love this list. cikasole
