1) set your /etc/apt/sources.list to retrieve everything by http, e.g. deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free 2) write this at the top of /etc/apt/apt.conf, with your real proxy name and port: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.your.com:8080";; 3) try it! it worked for me!
