Subject: apt-get update fails even when $http_proxy env var is set. Package: apt Version: 0.6.43.3 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** After upgrading the apt package in unstable, an apt-get update of my existing repositories failed even after I had the http_proxy environment variable set correctly. However, after creating a /etc/apt/apt.conf file with the following line, Acquire::http::Proxy "http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:80";; (example) apt-get seems to work fine.
