Comment 19 for bug 516032

the last trick (#18) was to solve the error for the command apt-add-repository..

to solve the apt-get update error, I did this..

sudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf

and there I fixed the proxy lines like this..

Acquire::http::proxy "http://username:password@proxy-ip:port/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://username:password@proxy-ip:port/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://username:password@proxy-ip:port/";

now everything works..and I can add repositories and update the way I like it..

don't know if this bug should be reopened, at least for Natty..
