I do not know what your network setup is. However I am behind a firewall and
the following is able to path it:
[03:11:20 /tmp]$ grep -A23 Acquire /etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire
{
// HTTP method configuration
http
{
Proxy "http://Proxy.israsrv.net.il:8080";
Timeout "120";
};
// FTP method configuration
ftp
{
Proxy "ftp://Proxy.israsrv.net.il:8080";
Timeout "120";
/* Passive mode control, proxy, non-proxy and per-host. Pasv mode
is prefered if possible */
Passive "true";
Proxy::Passive "true";
};
};
[03:11:26 /tmp]$
