#867: sudo cabal update doesn't use http_proxy

Comment(by guest):
I do not believe that this is cabal-install's fault -- {{{sudo}}} clears
the environment by default. Try
{{{
sudo -E cabal install ...
}}}
instead. (Not guaranteed to work; it depends on the sudo configuration).
You can check the effect using
{{{
sudo env
sudo -E env
}}}
For example, I get
{{{
> env | wc -l
55
> sudo env | wc -l
17
> sudo -E env | wc -l
56
}}}
