A possible solution can be to use tsocks, an application that can redirect the network traffic through a socks proxy.
Install tsocks package, modify /etc/tsocks.conf to set address and port number of your socks proxy, and run:
$ sudo -s
# tsocks apt-get update
# tsocks apt-get dist-upgrade
# exit
$
or
$ sudo -s
# . tsocks -on
# apt-get update
# apt-get dist-upgrade
# . tsocks -off # not really necessary, given the exit
# exit
$
You can think to a number of options, to simplify and automate its use.
Don't forget the leading dot, the Manpage has more deatails on this.
Edit: a shorter way to use it:
$ sudo tsocks apt-get update
$ sudo tsocks apt-get dist-upgrade

Also: As of apt 1.3~rc1 (Debian version, not sure exactly which Ubuntu version, though my guess is not until Zesty), you can useAcquire::http::Proxy "socks5h://hostname:port/". See the changelog at anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=apt/apt.git;a=blob;f=debian/…

Using the next config line works for me:
Acquire::socks::proxy "socks5://server:port";
To keep apt.conf clean and avoid problems at Linux upgrade I created a new file (/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/12proxy) and added the config file to it.

I'm pretty sure this is wrong syntax, it means "proxy all URLs that begin with socks:// through socks://user:pass@host:port/". Really, it should be this:Acquire::http::proxy "socks://user:pass@host:port/";
– Hans-Christoph Steiner
Jul 18 '14 at 16:03
@Hans-ChristophSteiner: This makes a connection to the indicated host and port, but the connection does not use the socks protocol. It looks like a http proxy protocol, but I did not check with an actual http proxy.
– Seth Robertson
Apr 16 '15 at 0:02
At this point, I'm sure thatAcquire::socksis for setting the proxy for URLs that start withsocks://. So that means you don't need a proxy to access the internet, andaptis not using any proxy forftp://,http://, orhttps://..aptonly supports HTTP proxies, i.e.Acquire::http::proxy "http://localhost:8118.

I couldn't find anything on Acquire::socks::proxy in the apt.conf manual of Ubuntu Xenial. You could fix this by running a local http proxy that supports upstream socks proxy, for example Polipo. You need to configure Polipo as follows:
proxyAddress = "::1"
proxyPort = 8118
socksParentProxy = "sockshost:socksport"
socksProxyType = socks5
and then set the http proxy in your apt.conf file:
Acquire::http::proxy "http://127.0.0.1:8118/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://127.0.0.1:8118/";

Acquire::http::proxy "socks5h://server:port";
This works for me on Ubuntu 18.04.
As the man page, socks5h, not socks5, is supported by apt, which means socks5 proxy with dns resolving ability.

# exit

Don't forget the leading dot, the Manpage has more deatails on this.
Edit: a shorter way to use it:
$ sudo tsocks apt-get update

I'm pretty sure this is wrong syntax, it means "proxy all URLs that begin with socks:// through socks://user:pass@host:port/". Really, it should be this:Acquire::http::proxy "socks://user:pass@host:port/";

@Hans-ChristophSteiner: This makes a connection to the indicated host and port, but the connection does not use the socks protocol. It looks like a http proxy protocol, but I did not check with an actual http proxy.

At this point, I'm sure thatAcquire::socksis for setting the proxy for URLs that start withsocks://. So that means you don't need a proxy to access the internet, andaptis not using any proxy forftp://,http://, orhttps://..aptonly supports HTTP proxies, i.e.Acquire::http::proxy "http://localhost:8118.

I couldn't find anything on Acquire::socks::proxy in the apt.conf manual of Ubuntu Xenial. You could fix this by running a local http proxy that supports upstream socks proxy, for example Polipo. You need to configure Polipo as follows:
proxyAddress = "::1"
proxyPort = 8118
socksParentProxy = "sockshost:socksport"
socksProxyType = socks5
and then set the http proxy in your apt.conf file:
Acquire::http::proxy "http://127.0.0.1:8118/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://127.0.0.1:8118/";

Acquire::http::proxy "socks5h://server:port";
This works for me on Ubuntu 18.04.
As the man page, socks5h, not socks5, is supported by apt, which means socks5 proxy with dns resolving ability.
