Since in the main (ubuntu) menu System > Network Proxy, you have an
"apply system wide", this "http_proxy" variable should be taken care of
somehow...

Either 
a/ by passing it through sudo
b/ the menu configuration add it somewhere somehow so that sudo get initialized 
with the "global official variable" (if a sudo.initial_env file would have 
existed, should be placed there).

solution b is more security-proof.
