programs don't recognize proxy settings in environment
I seem to have a strange problem.
Programs that are supposed to be able to recognize the proxy settings
from the environment don't do it properly (such as aptitude).
For example:
export http_proxy=<proxy>
aptitude update
Doesn't work, however:
export http_proxy=<proxy>
http_proxy=$http_proxy aptitude update
Does work. Any ideas where I got the settings screwed up? (This also
happened with reportbug)
I am using latest unstable with bash
Thanx
