[Bug 836483] [NEW] aptitude in Oneiric does not respect HTTP proxy settings

[Grigory Rechistov]

Public bug reported:

Just installed  Oneiric x86_64 alpha1. I'm behind a HTTP proxy.
Therefore I set it both in Settings and also tried in command line
(export http_proxy=...). The settings are correct - Firefox and wget are
able to use them to download stuff from the outside Internet.

When I try to run 'apt-get update'  or 'aptitude update' the programs
are stuck at downloading indexes and then fail at timeout.
