Hi, all
Suppose that
$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire {
http::Proxy "http://my.proxy.example:80/";;
[snip]
}
then I had a problem:
$ apt-get source util-linux -o Acquire::http::Proxy=''
E: Option Acquire::http::Proxy=: Configuration item specification must
have an =<val>.
$ apt-get -o Acquire::http::Proxy='' source util-linux
E: Invalid operation util-linux
$ apt-get source -o Acquire::http::Proxy='' util-linux
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Must specify at least one package to fetch source for
That is, I (sometimes) want to unset Acquire::http::Proxy option
temporarily as if it didn't exist in apt.conf.
`man 8 apt-get` tells me that apt-get recognizes -c option and
APT_CONFIG env var, but they are not what I want.
I want to keep other settings untouched rather than unset all of them
(by using an empty apt.conf instead.)
Is this feasible on the current implementation? (apt-get or aptitude)
Thanks in advance.
