[Bug 516032] Re: add-apt-repository doesn't work behind a proxy

[Taylor Braun-Jones]

Setting https_proxy worked for me. It sounds like the real source of
confusion surrounding this issue is that the default /etc/sudoers
configuration does not pass through http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy,
all_proxy, etc (see bug #556293).
