Server Install Problem

[zonkwilliams]

I am setting up a server to run Cacti on and I am having trouble with the proxy setting. When I run sudo apt-get update a line pops up saying "connecting to Webproxy" but there are two of them in the same line? I can download about half of the updates but when I run sudo apt-get upgrade nothing gets installed or upgraded? I am guessing that the needed packages are not being downloaded since it errors out about halfway through.
I got around our proxy by using "export http_proxy=http://webproxy/scripts/inet.pac" since our proxy has existing scripts it run for setup. Do I need to try the http://username password @ IP : port?
Thanx

I'm not sure what you mean when you say:

When you run:


sudo apt-get update

All the command does is uodate the paclage list to actually download and install the update you have to run:


sudo apt-get upgrade

If you get an error when downloading the updates try:


sudo apt-get install -f

the -f stands for fix missing
