Hi Junichi,

version 0.0.63 does the job with the proxy for me. Good work!

But apt-listbugs now reclaims about http_proxy is set and aborts,
which is not nice:

# apt-listbugs list apt-listbugs
/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs:395:in `parse_options': E: sanity check failed: 
environment variable http_proxy is set and soap_use_proxy is not 'on'. 
(RuntimeError)
        from /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs:1308
# unset http_proxy
# apt-listbugs list apt-listbugs
/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs:392:in `parse_options': E: sanity check failed: 
environment variable http_proxy is unset and HTTP_PROXY is set. (RuntimeError)
        from /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs:1308
..

If there is a switch to control if apt-listbugs reads the
HTTP_PROXY setting from the environment or not it should read it
if it is set and not read it if it is not set. But it is not the
job of apt-listbugs to gripe about a set HTTP_PROXY variable in
the environment if SOAP_USE_PROXY is not set.
BTW: A somewhat consistent handling of the proxy usage within
the apt family would not be bad ;-).

And .. there are really enough environment variables. We do not need
yet another environment variable for every program. apt-listbugs has
a config file, so why not use it for the SOAP_USE_PROXY switch?

Regards,

Uwe
