Package: apt-listbugs Version: 0.0.82 Severity: normal ruby seems to have some ill thought out security requirement that soap_use_proxy has to be 'on' if $http_proxy is set.
Since this is irrelevant to whether or not apt-listbugs should function, can apt-listbugs include some kind of workaround so that the user doesn't have to fiddle around with soap or ruby settings to get apt-listbugs to use the proxy? Currenty, apt-listbugs bails after a timeout because of this: > aptitude... ... Fetched 62.8MB in 1m36s (652kB/s) Reading package fields...
