[Bug 516032] Re: add-apt-repository doesn't work behind a proxy

[Ian Wells]

My issue with this is that I think apt-add-repository should respect the
http proxy settings in /etc/apt/apt.conf (or should have its own proxy
settings if that's preferable), rather than explicitly requiring the
proxy to be supplied in the environment.


Also, for those that have issues with the way that 'sudo' deliberately doesn't pass environment variables:

sudo env http_proxy=http://my-proxy:8080/ https_proxy=http://my-
proxy:8080/ apt-add-repository ...
