Set http proxy for ubuntu 5.10 GUI Update Manager
Set proxies in Gnome "Network Proxy Setting", or in /etc/bash.bashrc, or /etc/wget.rc won't apply to Update Manager.
You had to put a line like this in /etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.mydomain.com:8080";
apt.conf usually doesn't exist yet, so you will have to create in, with just that line in it.

In "Breezy Badger" you must edit apt.conf as follows:
Acquire
{
http::proxy "http://proxy.mydomain.com:8080"
}

Hmm, I tried this and it didn't work at all.
All I get is:
E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf:2: Extra junk at end of file.
And there is only one line of text. Does Gedit append junk to textfiles? If so what should one use to write the textfile?

Ah, found the problem.
You need a closing ;
