Confirming; this would work and is fixed at least in Quantal: - Sudo keeps the http_proxy, https_proxy, all_proxy, etc. environment variables. - https_proxy is required by add-apt-repository to access Launchpad. - http_proxy is required by add-apt-repository/apt-key/gpg to retrieve the PPA signing keys.
You'll have to make sure to set both http_proxy and https_proxy to be able to use add-apt-repository. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516032 Title: add-apt-repository doesn't work behind a proxy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/516032/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
