Title:
  apt-key calls wget without proxy environment variable

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When running as a regular user the command 'sudo update-manager -d',
  sudo strips the environment of the http_proxy variable which is needed
  for "apt-key netupdate" to run wget and update Ubuntu keyring.

  Even setting the proxy environment variables from /etc/environment or
  modifying the APT proxy settings via Acquire::http { Proxy ... } as
  apt-key calls wget to fetch the keyring instead of using APT
  internals.
