Package: cupt
Version: 1.5.8
Severity: normal

excerpt from cupt_vs_apt(5):

    to explicitly disable proxy, set
    'acquire::<protocol>::[<host::]proxy' to "", not to "DIRECT"

Neglecting the fact this difference of configuration syntax is
annoying enough when you want to try cupt a bit without fully
abandoning APT, I just could not get it work.

I tried each of the following stanzas, without success:

  acquire::http::bugs.debian.org::proxy "";
  acquire::http::<bugs.debian.org::proxy "";
  acquire::http::proxy::bugs.debian.org "";
  acquire::http::proxy::bugs.debian.org "";

All these attempts trigger the following error messages:

  E: bad config in file '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/11-proxy'
  W: skipped configuration file '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/11-proxy'

What is the correct way to do so?

BTW, what is the rationale of the fact that cupt ignores the whole
config file when it does not like a single line of it? This behavior
forces me to sort APT settings in apt.conf.d/ files by
cupt-compliance, rather than by topic (e.g. I'll have to split my
`11-proxy' file into `11-proxy-apt' and `11-proxy-cupt', which I find
kind of ugly).

Bye,
