Package: apt
Version: 0.7.14ubuntu6
Severity: wishlist
I have set the environment variable http_proxy for use with wget, lynx or
other http retrieving utilities.
This overrides the settings in apt.conf making this configuration useless.
The only workaround is to unset http_proxy every time you invoke aptitude.
Can you change this behaviour?
The following options could solve this issue.
1. Make aptitude look for apt_http_proxy instead of http_proxy
and include the value 'direct' for this variable to not use a proxy.
2. Include an option for apt.conf to let apt* ignore the http_proxy setting.
Thanks a lot

With Acquire::http::Proxy or host-specific proxy set, current versions
prefer those. Environment variable is only used if no apt.conf setting
applies.

apt_http_proxy would be redundant to apt.conf settings.

Yes, this is:
Acquire::http::Proxy="DIRECT"
apt (0.7.23) unstable; urgency=low
* methods/{http,https,ftp}, doc/apt.conf.5.xml:
- Changed and unified the code that determines which proxy to use. Now
'Acquire::{http,ftp}::Proxy[::<host>]' options have the highest priority,
and '{http,ftp}_proxy' environment variables are used only if options
mentioned above are not specified.
