dselect and apt-get are enormously configurable (at least, they are on
Debian systems, which is where I use them predominantly). See man
apt.conf for details. This is where you can configure proxy settings
and all that jazz. Some proxies don't like apt at all - I've had
problems with squid in the past. Having said that, I don't seem to be
having any problems now, at least on Debian systems, where I have the
following apt.conf file:
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://my.squid.proxy.machine:3128";
Judging by your error message above, it's a proxy problem somewhere that
you are having.
