I seem to have a strange problem. Programs that are supposed to be able to recognize the proxy settings from the environment don't do it properly (such as aptitude). For example:
export http_proxy=<proxy> aptitude update Doesn't work, however: export http_proxy=<proxy> http_proxy=$http_proxy aptitude update Does work. Any ideas where I got the settings screwed up? (This also happened with reportbug) I am using latest unstable with bash Thanx -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
