Hello, I'm in real trouble with apt-get and a squid proxy. First of all I found out that in contrast to the manual of apt.conf the environment variables
~# set | grep proxy ftp_proxy=http://wr-linux01.rki.de:3128/ http_proxy=http://wr-linux01.rki.de:3128/ are ignored by apt-get. Thus I have included the suggested lines into my /etc/apt/apt.conf file for http and ftp proxy. Unfortunately I've got MD5 sum errors for all files I got via apt-get install which remained in /var/cache/apt/archives/partial if the sources.list file enforced http-protocol instead of ftp. But all files where OK and I could cmp them perfectly to files I got "by hand". I could perfectly install them via "dpkg -i". I guess that the squid-proxy prevents a MD5 validation. I've thought I could get rid off this problem using ftp-protocol in sources.list entries, because the MD5 problem vanished. Today I recogniced that the cache is ignored and files are obtained everytime from the far host instead of using the squid-cache. I really hope that there is anybody who can help me out this situation. I'm sharing a 128kByte line with many people :-(( and need the cache very hard.
