I am not sure this was fixed, or maybe I just hardly misunderstand that. Under current Bionic (software-properties-common 0.96.24.32.3) I still can't retrieve keys via env-var defined `http_proxy`.

I know I can work this around with `--keyserver-options http- proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128/` but this is not what I should do, the system should take care itself. This is really a pain-in-the-ass issue for in-corporate-network automation developers; we just need to use standard tools for adding apt repositories, not working this around. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1433761 Title: apt-key and add-apt-repository don't honor Acquire::http::Proxy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1433761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
