[Bug 556293] Re: apt/aptitude need to take global proxy settings into account

[Brian Murray]

To be clear ubuntu-system-services sets the proxy server for you in
/etc/apt/apt.conf:

root at flash:/etc/apt# cat apt.conf
APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true";
Acquire::http::proxy "http://192.68.10.1:3128/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://192.68.10.1:3128/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://192.68.10.1:3128/";
Acquire::socks::proxy "socks://192.68.10.1:3128/";

Title:
  apt/aptitude need to take global proxy settings into account

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo

  sudo version 1.7.2p1 in Ubuntu Lucid Beta 1 does not keep the
  http_proxy variable any more. So "sudo aptitude update" doesn't work
  in my work environment any more after update from Karmic.
