(Get the code!)
This is very annoying. I have modified cntlm proxy to work with basic auth. And everything was working fine till this bug appeared. I do no su ever. So exporting my variables with sudo worked okay. And when I tried to do an apt-get it just failed to resolve the host names. I started debugging my local proxy when I realized that apt-get does not send any requests to it at all.
Why in the name of )==() does this pass through unnoticed? If the solution is as simple as Geraldo comments, I suggest it is released in a patch pretty soon. Atleast all the proxy environment variables should be saved.
My work around for the solution was to explicitly add a proxy line in apt.conf. But now I need to remove it everytime I get out from behind the proxy and start using direct connections.
Hope this gets fixed soon.
