I guess there are these three lines to uncomment in /etc/wgetrc

------ Original ------
#http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
#ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/

#use_proxy = on
-------------------------

----- Changed-------
http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/

use_proxy = on
-------------------------

Hopefully this should work ?

And I have noticed that to allow apt-get/aptitude to also use the proxy, the proxy settings in Synaptic also need to be changed.
Wonder why, especially because the GNOME system-wide proxy settings have already been set but wget nor Synaptic follow those !

P.S. I currently do not have access to a system behind a proxy so I
cannot test it  :|
