Running apt-get upgrade through a proxy:

Title:
  Synaptic, update-manager, apt-get and wget  should share proxy
  settings

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  I installed Intrepid on one of my lab machines today.  It needs to use
  a proxy server to get updates.

  What I did was:
  Go to Synaptic, Settings->Preferences->Network

  I then entered my proxy server information there.  Things seemed to
  work since I could then refresh packages, so I closed it.

  
  The update manager then told me I had updates to install, so I clicked on the update manager.  The update manager, however, doesn't use Synaptic's proxy configuration settings -- it uses its own.  So, everything failed, and in order to fix it I had to go to the Gnome Network Proxy preferences and configure one there globally (then click "apply system-wide")

  
  This is all less than ideal.  

  I can't think of a use case where a user would want to have different
  proxy configuration for Synaptic and update manager (or command-line
  apt-get, for that matter).  So, they should use the same setting, in a
  standard way.  It would be nice if Synaptic made it obvious if it was
  using a system-wide setting that Gnome set as well - something like a
  checkbox or radio button for "use system-wide proxy settings".
