Depends how you mean that...
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://aptproxy.jpsdomain.org:9999/ubuntu gutsy           main 
restricted universe multiverse
deb http://aptproxy.jpsdomain.org:9999/ubuntu gutsy-updates   main 
restricted universe multiverse
deb http://aptproxy.jpsdomain.org:9999/ubuntu gutsy-security  main 
restricted universe multiverse
deb http://aptproxy.jpsdomain.org:9999/ubuntu gutsy-backports main 
restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/ubuntu gutsy           main 
restricted universe multiverse


My apt-proxy Ubuntu backends are:
	[ubuntu]
	;; Ubuntu archive
	backends = http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
	; BAD GPG key backends = http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

	[ubuntu-security]
	;; Ubuntu security updates
	backends = http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu


But you know, now that I think about it, I never cleared the relevant 
package(s) from that *proxy* when I tried the --purge and clean 
before...  Will try that later.

Not yet.

Well, asking here was easier...  :-)

I was originally using apt-get, but tried aptitude in case apt-get was 
getting crufty.  Same deal all around.

Thanks,

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
