You can also put that information in /etc/apt/apt.conf: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://some.proxy.domain:8080/";; Acquire::http::Proxy::some.host.domain DIRECT; I always do the apt.conf approach since it does not rely upon me having logged in as any particular user to get the environment variable set.
