Howdy Bruce, In root's .bashrc (since apt-get upgrade has to be run as root), or in /etc/environment you should be able to add lines similar to the following: http_proxy="http://<username>:<password>@proxys_fqdn.com:<port>/" ftp_proxy="ftp://<username>:<password>@ftpproxys_fqdn.com:<port>/" /etc/environment should allow all users on the system to use the proxy, where root's .bashrc will only tell programs running as root to use the proxy. Also, if you add the lines to root's .bashrc, you will want to add the word "export" on the lines for the proxy settings, so it would look something like "export http_proxy...".
