After upgrading to ubuntu10.10,I can not install packages in the
terminal using the command "apt -get install packagenames" with the
environment variable "http_proxy" set properly in the terminal.I have to
set the proxy in the apt.conf file in the /etc/apt directory or use the
"-o Acquire::http::Proxy" option in the command line.But in the man page
of apt.conf, it still writes that "The http_proxy environment variable
will override all settings".I don't know whether this is a bug or
not.Maybe it's just time to update the man pages.

Synaptic, update-manager, apt-get and wget  should share proxy settings
