sbopkg não está funcionando com o proxy

Question

O Sbopkg costumava funcionar no meu computador até que o administrador da rede começasse a obrigar o usuário a usar o proxy antes de se conectar à Internet. Então, quando tentei sincronizar com o slackbuilds, estou recebendo esses erros:

root@meh:~# sbopkg -r
Syncing with the remote repository into /var/lib/sbopkg/SBo/13.1.
rsync: failed to connect to slackbuilds.org: Connection timed out (110)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.7]

Rsync reported a socket error which may be due to
a problem with the LINK value in sbopkg.conf.
(The repo's LINK is currently set to: slackbuilds.org::slackbuilds/13.1).
Please check your settings and try again later.

    

Answer 1

Os documentos do rsync sugerem:

You may establish the connection via a web proxy by setting the environment variable RSYNC_PROXY to a hostname:port pair pointing to your web proxy. Note that your web proxy's configuration must allow proxying to port 873.
