In my testing if I do not entry a value for a proxy, using unstable base-config, I get a apt.conf with this in it: Acquire::http::Proxy "/"; Once that is fixed, I imagine it will indeed start prompting for a proxy twice. Checking the seen flag won't work, we need to unset the seen flag to allow apt-setup to prompt for a proxy when re-run. Probably a new environment variable can be used. -- see shy jo
