Updates does not work using adept

[b-boy]

Hi guys


I am trying to download and install updates which the update manager (adept) shows as updates available but it fails with the following error

APT Error. Context:
Package download failed,
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/shadow/login_4.1.1-1ubuntu1.1_i386.deb: 407 Proxy Authentication Required [IP: 172.28.11.133 8080],

and the list goes on ....the funny thing is snaptic works fine a can download and install packages with any problems.

I have tried entering the following settings in .bashrc
but it does not work


export export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxy:8080
export export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxy:8080

What could the problem be

Have you tried to open up /etc/apt/apt.conf and add you proxy settings?

Adept is in a pretty broken state as of now--I use Synaptic almost exclusively, until they refix Adept.
