[Bug 966944] Re: proxy support not fully working

[Serge Hallyn]

** Description changed:

+ ========================================
+ SRU Justification:
+ 1. impact: creating VMs using an apt proxy fails
+ 2. Development fix: set up apt proxies before creating sources.list
+ 3. Stable fix: same as development fix
+ 4. Test case:
+   sudo apt-get -y install apt-cacher-ng
+   sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu -o -v --tmpfs 1536 --rootsize=4096M --swapsize=512M -d vm1 --proxy=http://localhost:3142
+ 5. Regression potential: this should not introduce any regressions.
+ ========================================
+ 
  Building a vm image behind a proxy doesn't work (in fact, it nearly
  works...). VMbuilder can't connect to the network while updating the apt
  sources.
  
  This command crashes :
  
  # vmbuilder vbox ubuntu -o -v \
- 	--tmpfs 1536 --rootsize=4096M --swapsize=512M \
- 	-c openstack.cfg -d target/ubuntu-vbox --proxy=http://apt-cacher-ng-host:3142
+  --tmpfs 1536 --rootsize=4096M --swapsize=512M \
+  -c openstack.cfg -d target/ubuntu-vbox --proxy=http://apt-cacher-ng-host:3142

  The problem is at the beginning of the configure_os phase : the
  /etc/apt/apt.conf file containing the proxy configuration is created
  after updating the apt sources. The apt update cannot work without the
  proxy configuration. After swapping theses two actions, building an
  image works.
  
  So, here is a simple patch swapping theses two actions.
  
  Any chance to have this fix in precise ?
  
  Thanks,
  Yoann.
