Bug#87808: apt-get: ignores setting of Acquire:http:Proxy

[Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.0
Severity: normal

I have the following setting in my apt.conf file:

Acquire:http:Proxy "http://192.168.1.1:3128";;

however, apt-get seems to ignore it.  Invoking apt with the following
environment, however, works fine:

export http_proxy='http://192.168.1.1:3128'

I don't know if this is an important detail, but my sources.list
includes lines with a non-standard port number.
