[Bug 615786] Re: flashplugin-installer doesn't use the system proxy settings, so fails to install from behind a filtering proxy / firewall

[Matt Blissett]

I had the environment variable http_proxy set correctly, but sudo
removes them.  You can use the -E flag to sudo to preserve all
environment variables. (Compare 'env', 'sudo env' and 'sudo -E env'.)

sudo -E aptitude install flashplugin-installer

worked fine for me. sudo -i ... would probably work too, if your
system's environment is set up correctly.
