I have these in "/etc/apt/apt.conf" :

--->START<---
Acquire
{
  http
  {
    Proxy "http://proxy.hkbu.edu.hk:8080/";;
    No-Cache "true";
    Max-Age "3600";
    No-Store "true";
  };
  ftp
  {
    Proxy "http://proxy.hkbu.edu.hk:8080/";;
  };
};
---->END<----

And a complete listing of options is in
"/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/apt.conf.gz" .....

BTW I am using potato, perhaps it's different with the apt in slink?
