No. Sorry for not being so clear. When I say `$ env` (i.e. as normal
user) it doesn't show http_proxy. As if /etc/environment is not
available to normal user. I wonder why? (I checked file permissions
they are 0644)
When I say `# env` (i.e. as root user) I can see `http_proxy`,
`https_proxy` and `ftp_proxy` as if /etc/environment is available to
root only.
Then when I say `$ sudo env` again I couldn't see any of the
`http_proxy`, `https_proxy` or `ftp_proxy`
