The reason this is occurring in precise is that the flashplugin-
installer was converted to use the update-notifier package-data-
downloader hook which unfortunately does not take the apt proxy
configuration settings into account.
In versions before precise, the script that did this formerly in the
postinst did the following:
APT_PROXIES=$(apt-config shell \
http_proxy Acquire::http::Proxy \
https_proxy Acquire::https::Proxy \
ftp_proxy Acquire::ftp::Proxy \
)
if [ -n $APT_PROXIES ]; then
eval export $APT_PROXIES
fi
The package-data-downloader utility should do something similar. Moving
this bug over to the update-notifier package.
