Dear Liam,

I installed the OS again, did not upgrade it.

Ok.

But now there is a slight problem, when ever I use "sudo apt-get update",
it does not work. but if I become root first, using "su", and then so the same thing, it works.
I tried closing all the terminals and opening them again, didn't work.
Here is the output, first in normal user and then as root.

Can you do a "echo $http_proxy" both as root and as user? I guess
$http_proxy isn't set properly for your user (and sudo uses user-values
for its config)

prakhar(a)ibab-stud021:~$ echo $http_proxy
http://proxy.ibab.ac.in:3128/
prakhar(a)ibab-stud021:~$ su -
Password:
ibab-stud021:~# echo $http_proxy

ibab-stud021:~# exit
logout
prakhar(a)ibab-stud021:~$ su
Password:
ibab-stud021:/home/prakhar# echo $http_proxy
http://proxy.ibab.ac.in:3128/

Notice the difference of output between "su -" and "su". I had read that "su -" loads that root user environment,
and just "su" works with the current user environment only.
Additionally to answer your query, in both user and root the $http_proxy variable is set correctly.
I have done the same modifications to the user ~/.bashrc file, ie. added the line
export http_proxy="http://proxy.ibab.ac.in:3128/"

Well that's what all I did, please help me out.

Dear All,

Have a interesting update and potentially the solution of the problem. I have another system running Debian 5.0.5
,same hard ware configuration.
It had the same problem, while reading about apt on Wikipedia, got to know about the command apt-config dump
and the file "/etc/apt/apt.conf"
I ran the command on the other system, and the proxy was entered incorrectly(I did not do that)
I checked out the file "apt.conf" on my other system, it had only one line,
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://ibab(a)ibab:3128";
Hence I corrected it to,
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://ibab.ac.in:@proxy.ibab.ac.in:3128";
and now every thing is fine.
But funnily enough, when tryiny to correct the same file on my own system,
There was no "/etc/apt/apt.conf" file.
Hence created that file and just put the above line in it.
apt-get is working fine now.

Wonder why there was no "/etc/apt/apt.conf" file present???

Thanks to everyone for the help,
Prakhar Gaur

Try adding it in /etc/bash.bashrc. That should work for all users.

Good luck!
