(from bug 712812) There are a few cases like bug 712666 and bug 710054 where users seem to need an http proxy, and they have it set up well enough that they can get to Launchpad, but it's not configured into gpg. It looks like in Maverick, gpg does always honor $http_proxy, but it might not be getting set correctly.
** Summary changed: - add-apt-repository insists on downloading GPG key even if keyserver is down. If keyserver is down, add-apt-repository can't proceed. + gpg doesn't get the right proxy configuration ** Changed in: software-properties Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: software-properties Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443404 Title: gpg doesn't get the right proxy configuration -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
