Title:
  update-manager doesn't honor apt.conf Proxy setting

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  I'm using apt with apt-cache because I have various pc with the same
  ubuntu, and I want to save bandwidth.

  My apt.conf has only one line:

  Acquire::http::Proxy "http://paolo:3142/";

  it teaches apt to use the apt-cacher in paolo:

  However, when I run update-manager -d to upgrade to jaunty beta, it
  appears that packages are being downloaded from web servers, not from
  apt-cacher proxy.

  I think update-manager should honour apt.conf settings.
