Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: important Hi, First off I would like to apologize if you think I have rated this bug to high, but i feel that it is a serious problem. Apt-get honors my http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables set in /etc/environment but ignores the no_proxy variable also set. This means the proxy is needlessly filled up with debs and package info for accessing a local server. I use the environment variables rather than setting things explicitly with apt's own proxy stuff as this way it works for wget and lynx (and I suspect a few others) from just one location - easy maintenance. Therefore if you could change apt so it honored the no_proxy environment variable i would be most grateful, both of the speed increase through not using the proxy and the network admins grateful of me not clogging up the proxy(web cache).
Thank you, Stuart Rowan. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: Linux strr 2.4.13 #2 Thu Nov 1 17:32:31 GMT 2001 i586 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.4-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libstdc++2.10- 2.95.4-0.01100 The GNU stdc++ library
