Of course that has been tried and it does not work. It eventually pops up "unable to get setup from <mirror> [ok]". So does "use HTTP/FTP Proxy" (with only host and port entry available), and "Direct Connection".

Explorer is using a proxy configuration script, defined by others.

Setup is being run with --no-admin. -p has been tried, but there is no option for user/passwd.

Apt-cyg works because it uses wget. Wget works because https_proxy, http_proxy, ftp_proxy, use_proxy, proxy_user, and proxy_password are exported from .bashrc (or set in .wgetrc).

Thanks!
