just switch the apt to do http transfers, this is from my
/etc/apt/apt.conf (you might want to tweak it a bit, not sure how
optimal it is):
http {
Proxy "http://127.0.0.1:3128";;
//Proxy::http.us.debian.org "DIRECT"; // Specific per-host setting
Timeout "120";
Pipeline-Depth "5";
// Cache Control. Note these do not work with Squid 2.0.2
//No-Cache "false";
//Max-Age "86400"; // 1 Day age on index files
//No-Store "false"; // Prevent the cache from storing archives
};
