I think you need to set (in /etc/apt/apt.conf)

Acquire::http::Proxy  http://user:pass@10.152.16.10:8080

(leave out the user:pass@ part, if you don't need to login)

The manpage apt.conf(5) also states it would honour the setting of the
general environment variable "http_proxy" -- which is also used by
other tools, such as wget.

Similar options exist for FTP, in case you should need those, too.
