Title:
System-wide proxy settings do not affect apt-get, wget
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
In System->Preferences->Network Proxy, I set it to use Manual proxy
configuration, using the same proxy for all protocols. I provide the
HTTP proxy, port, and in details the authentication username and
password. On applying system-wide and closing, I still need to change
files such as /etc/apt/apt.conf, /etc/environment to include the
authentication to be like "http://username:password@proxy-ip:port/";. I
also need to add the proxy details in /etc/wgetrc - the proxy settings
themselves as well as proxy_user and proxy_passwd.
In the debian stable, all these things are done automatically by
gnome-network-properties.
This problem existed in ubuntu 11.04 beta 2 also.
