Bug#89671: apt-get fails when $ftp_proxy is set ...

[Timshel Knoll <timshel@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've just migrated from apt 0.3.9 (or whatever was in testing) to 0.5.3,
and I normally download through a http proxy (ie. my ftp_proxy variable
is set to http://proxy.domain.com:8080/). apt-get now fails with a
connection timeout. If I run "ftp_proxy= apt-get install xxxx" it works
fine, however. If you want an strace or anything just let me know ...

Thanks,

Timshel
