I'd like to get apt-get working from within $BIGCOMPANY.  As it
stands, there is a proxy.  If memory serves, and google is correct, I
should be able to put the following line into /etc/enviornment and
have my apt-get be able to hop onto the Internet and grab files:

http_proxy="http://<username>:<password>@proxy.company.com:8080/proxy/"

However, this does not work.  Does anyone have any ideas why not?
