apt-get (potato) no longer works with dante-client

I need to use dante-client as I am trapped behind a msproxy SOCKS4 server. Using slink, apt-get worked fine. I have recently upgraded to potato, and apt-get no longer works thru dante. I tested with both kernel 2.0.36 and 2.2.10 Lynx does however. My sources.list is set up for the http method.
