I have just selfupdated a machine behind a web proxy, and I 
get the following when I try to run fink scanpackages:

/sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait -q update
Err http://bindist.finkmirrors.net 10.4/release/main 
Packages
   Could not connect to 3128:80 (0.0.12.56). - connect (60 
Operation timed out)
Err http://quince.leeds.ac.uk stable/main Packages
   Could not connect to 3128:80 (0.0.12.56). - connect (60 
Operation timed out)

Note that it happens for both finkmirrors, and a local 
machine quince, which is reachable without using the web 
proxy.  The error message suggests to me that something is 
getting parsed incorrectly.  I think this worked before 
updating to the latest fink (which it will have grabbed from 
quince during the selfupdate):

fink --version
Package manager version: 0.25.0
Distribution version: 0.8.1.rsync powerpc

  i   fink             0.25.0-31    The Fink package manager
  i   fink-mirrors     0.25.0.1-1   Mirror infrastructure
  i   fink-prebinding  0.7.1-1002   Tools for enabling 
prebinding in Fink

In fink.conf I have

ProxyHTTP: www-cache.leeds.ac.uk:3128
ProxyPassiveFTP: true
# ProxyFTP: www-cache.leeds.ac.uk:3128

(I commented out the ftp line because that was the only 
change I made when I reran fink-configure to check the 
mirrors, so I was just checking it had nothing to do with 
the current problem...)

It is also possible somethng that failed during the 
selfupdate is causing the problems.  But I don't have the 
output from the selfupdate any longer...

Thanks for any suggestions?
