Hi John, I changed the title of this from the "YaST2 Sucks" one as it was getting a bit ... um ... tiresome :-)
Apt4rpm works wonderfully over firewall/proxy Here's how. At your bash console do this: Bash# export http_proxy=(address-of-proxy:port) Bash# export ftp_proxy=(address-of-proxy:port)
OK, so if we assume my proxy is at address 192.168.1.1, port 3128 and I can get that working with normal Internet & ftp services (i.e. through a browser such as Mozilla, Konqueror, Opera etc.) ... that means if I type: # export http_proxy=192.168.1.1:3128 # export ftp_proxy=192.168.1.1:3128 That will work?
At this time I do not think apt4rpm supports placing the proxy in apt.conf, cause this is normally where it would go.
I think that way was (more-or-less) the way I tried it before and I couldn't get it working.
But both apt and fou4s will work at the cli with the exports like this. You have to do it each time you get to login to cli or you can place the export perm in your bash.rc ( I think)
So just edit bash.rc ... I'll try that if that above works (I will let you know but it probably won't be until tonight). Thanks James C.

James, They way I do it is like this: # export http_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128/ # export ftp_proxy=ftp://192.168.1.1:3128/ in apt.conf it should look like this Acquire_http_Proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128/ ; I have not tried this in apt.conf under apt4rpm installs, but it does work under debians apt.conf, so the same should work here. Looking for Acquire_http_Proxy through groups.google.com should pull up some results.

Just take a look at the file: /usr/share/doc/packages/apt/configure-index All available options are explained in that file. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
