[Bug 827627] [NEW] apt should be able to use an opportunistic cache/proxy

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hi,

apt-get can use a HTTP proxy if on is configured in its settings, but
then it fails if the proxy is unavailable.

Would be nice (and save ubuntu's server resources) if apt-get could use
a proxy/cache opportunisticly, i.e. use it if available and access the
repositories directly otherwise.

regards
