James, thanks for your interest in Trojita, but please use the mailing list (Cc-ed) for further questions. There are knowledgeable people in there who can help you.

3. In a shell, "export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8080/";

That won't work. Your SSH client does not provide an HTTP proxy, but a SOCKS5 proxy. Use `export http_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:8080` to set up the variables properly.

However, another test showed that
this doesn't depend on the http_proxy environment variable -- it
depends only on the system-wide settings in Ubuntu's control panel.

It would be interesting to know how Ubuntu sets this up. Please file a bug at the bug tracker.

With kind regards,
Jan
