** Description changed:

  geoclue-ubuntu-geoip doesn't seem to support proxy settings, even when
  they're set in /etc/environment or the System Settings → Network
  section.
  
  This would be useful for corporate networks where outgoing HTTP is
  blocked, except for when allowed via a proxy.
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ System components should respect system proxy settings.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ With non-patched packages, run: kill -9 the geoclue-master and 
ubuntu-geoip-provider processes while running tcpdump on ports 80 and the port 
of one's HTTP proxy server.
+ 
+ One will see the connections go straight to port 80 on the IPs above
+ rather than via the proxy.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None.
