Comment 2 for bug 190209

I have the same problem with bzr 1.3.1 on Ubuntu 8.04.1.
The http_proxy environment variable is set correctly, but I assume that bazaar or the launchpad plugin ignores it.

I would imagine that this will severely affect take up of bzr in corporations like my own, as many large corporations use proxies...

If this bug has been fixed in subsequent versions of bazaar, it would be very helpful if a .deb package were made available for the current Ubuntu release and LTS release.
