This was fixed a while back: apt-setup (1:0.11ubuntu4) edgy; urgency=low
* Backport from trunk (Joey Hess): - Fix broken proxy setting code in 90security. Closes: #378868 Some systems installed before this fix will have Acquire::http::proxy "false" set in apt.conf, which leads to breakage in some situations. Also, if a proxy was set, it would not be written to the file. -- Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 30 Aug 2006 12:16:36 +0100 I also backported this to Dapper as 1:0.10ubuntu3, although unfortunately too late for Ubuntu 6.06.1. If there's ever an Ubuntu 6.06.2, it will contain this fix. ** Changed in: apt-setup (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Fix Released -- apt cant work with disable proxy https://launchpad.net/bugs/47044 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
