It's not just apt-get. I have noticed the same issue with wget. wget works fine through the proxy when run as user and as root (through sudo -s)
However sudo wget ___ fails to use the proxy settings. The same settings work fine in 9.10 -- sudo does not keep http_proxy environment variable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
