Package: apt Version: 0.3.7 At my work, I use
export http_proxy=http://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/ for enabling use of the company's firewall. (The user database is on an old Novell server, and everybody has an '@' stuck in its username). With 0.1.x apt's (as in slink), I could do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade with no problems. When I upgraded the machine to potato, I discovered the latest apt consider "area" as the server, and "pass" as the port, i.e., it stops at the first "@" character. Please change back to the old behaviour, as now I can't use it anymore. Thanks. Pedro Ivo Tavares
