Hi there, the bug tracker is not the right place for user support. APT does not suddenly pick different proxies when running as a service. It does respect your http_proxy and no_proxy variables. Please note that while http_proxy does not override Acquire::http::proxy, no_proxy does. It sounds likely that when you run update manually, you have your freight server in the no_proxy variable.
You have plenty of options to configure this more reliably, such as 1) configure Acquire::http::proxy::archive.ubuntu.com to only proxy for archive.ubuntu.com (repeat for all hosts you want proxy) 2) configure Acquire::http::proxy to your proxy and configuring Acquire::http::proxy::freightserverhostname "DIRECT" 3) configure Acquire::http::proxy (or http_proxy) and set no_proxy in /etc/environment(.d) ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2055717 Title: Acquire::http::proxy ignored / used inconsistently?
