Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: synaptic

In Edgy Eft there was one textbox to enter the http proxy settings in
Synaptic, so I always used this format:

username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port

Today I upgraded to Feisty, and now there is a new 'authentication
button', where I can enter the proxy username and password. Great work,
but, when I enter my proxy, port, username and password I get this error
message: "407: proxy authentication required".

So to me it looks like the proxy host and port do work, but the proxy
authentication goes wrong or does not work at all. I also entered the
proxy settings in the control center "Network Proxy" dialog, but that
doesn't help.

Update manager and apt-get work fine, so I think it's a Synaptic issue.
