Hi Greg,

Ui, pretty complicated, I prefer apt-get --just-print dist-ugrade :-)

But this really worked!  Thanks!
So I understand even less why the same option in apt.conf.d doesn't do it:

  ftp
  {
    Proxy "http://192.168.2.64:8080/";;
    Timeout "120";
  };

Very strange!
 Andy.

PS: using apt version 0.5.4
