Package: apt Version: 0.7.14ubuntu6 Severity: wishlist I have set the environment variable http_proxy for use with wget, lynx or other http retrieving utilities. This overrides the settings in apt.conf making this configuration useless. The only workaround is to unset http_proxy every time you invoke aptitude.
Can you change this behaviour? The following options could solve this issue. 1. Make aptitude look for apt_http_proxy instead of http_proxy and include the value 'direct' for this variable to not use a proxy. 2. Include an option for apt.conf to let apt* ignore the http_proxy setting.
