Public bug reported:
We have migrated our Ubuntu desktops to use the APT config option
'Acquire::http::Proxy-Auto-Detect' instead of the 'Acquire::http::Proxy'
and this breaks update-manager.
Looking at the 'init_proxy' function it seems that only the
'Acquire::http::Proxy' APT config option is supported for the use of
proxy. Can support for the 'Acquire::http::Proxy-Auto-Detect' (as well
as 'Acquire::https::Proxy-Auto-Detect' for https) APT config option be
added to update-manager?
A workaround that I managed to use is to export the http_proxy and https_proxy
environment variables and then run `do-release-upgrade`. Though this has a
couple of drawbacks, for instance that the GUI version of update-manager is not
possible to use. I'm just mentioning this if someone else is stuck while using
'Proxy-Auto-Detect' for APT.
