Setting a general /etc/wgetrc file is not a good idea for non transparent proxies which require a username/password pair. In this case, only private files can be used.
In the following patch, I use either the Acquire::http::Proxy setting from /etc/apt/apt.conf or /root/.wgetrc as both can be restricted to root only. ** Attachment added: "patch using either /root/.wgetrc or Acquire::http::Proxy" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5808616/flashplugin-nonfree.proxy.patch -- flashplugin-nonfree doesn't uses the proxy debconf key https://launchpad.net/bugs/45722 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
