Binary package hint: gnome-network-admin
When setting a proxy in gnome the system wide button only sets the proxy
that is listed in the "Manual proxy configuration" heading. If the
Direct internet connection option is checked and the apply system-wide
button is pressed, the manual proxy configuration settings are applied.
If i were to put proxy.proxy.net port 80 into the manual configuration
and hit system wide then switch to direct internet connection and hit
system-wide again, the proxy wouldn't change from the terminal. Apt
would continue to use the proxy along with any other CLI based network
tool. The only way, that I found, to reset the proxy is to clear out the
manual configuration and hit Apply system-wide again.
I don't know if this is the expected behavior however it is ambiguous
and can become easily frustrating.
