issue with apt-get using proxy server to connect internet

source : debian-user-digest # 1163.

[ A ] : add this line to my /etc/bash.bashrc :

export http_proxy="http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/"

[ B ] : Probably one of your configuration files was replaced during the upgrade. The original will have been preserved with the extension .dpkg-old.

You might also add :

export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy
