Note that for many releases now the proxy configuration guy (through ubuntu-system-service) is supposed to set the proxy in both the environment and the apt configuration. It will also ask you whether you want to apply a proxy configuration system-wide if you try to change it for your user only. Is that working, or broken?
I reiterate that sudo is the wrong place to fix this. These days software-center, apt-daemon, etc. don't use sudo, so having this hack there wouldn't actually help to make the package installers see the proxy. This really needs to be solved by respecting the proxy settings in /etc/environment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556293 Title: apt/aptitude need to take global proxy settings into account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/556293/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
