Hi, all Suppose that
$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf Acquire { http::Proxy "http://my.proxy.example:80/"; [snip] } then I had a problem: $ apt-get source util-linux -o Acquire::http::Proxy='' E: Option Acquire::http::Proxy=: Configuration item specification must have an =<val>. $ apt-get -o Acquire::http::Proxy='' source util-linux E: Invalid operation util-linux $ apt-get source -o Acquire::http::Proxy='' util-linux Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Must specify at least one package to fetch source for That is, I (sometimes) want to unset Acquire::http::Proxy option temporarily as if it didn't exist in apt.conf. `man 8 apt-get` tells me that apt-get recognizes -c option and APT_CONFIG env var, but they are not what I want. I want to keep other settings untouched rather than unset all of them (by using an empty apt.conf instead.) Is this feasible on the current implementation? (apt-get or aptitude) Thanks in advance. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
