I don't know if this is yourb problem, but if apt-get uses the same
conventions as (say) Lynx for specifying proxys then there should be a
trailing slash, like so:
http://193.158.21.90:8080/
Also, I'm not sure that the ftp proxy you have specified will work;
I believe that this setting is for an ftp proxy server, not a squid-style
cache. If you're behind a firewall that lets you make outgoing ftp
connections, just having `Passive "true"' may be enough.
