[Bug 1312267] Re: wget does not honour proxy inside sudo

[Jan Groenewald]

Also apt-add-repository is not honouring proxy inside sudo (but both
wget and apt-add-repository honours the proxy in su, when a root
password is set)

Even sudo inside su does not work!

root at gift-laptop:/home/gift# sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:aims/aims-desktop

gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp9kcefxji/pubring.gpg' created

sudo is a very common and recommended way to add a repository.

  This is going to break most of the advice on the internet to e.g. sudo
  wget somesite/some-apt-key.
