Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: wishlist If I have a repository behind my firewall (on host "zero", say), I should be able to do this in apt.conf:
Acquire::http::Proxy::zero DIRECT; However, it doesn't work, because the environment variable http_proxy overrides, even though the apt.conf entry is more specific. Yes, I can unset http_proxy, and yes, I understand that environment variables traditionally override config file entries, but in this case, it doesn't make sense.
