Could you clarify?
I think Alan is referring to the inconsistent implementations of proxies in various packages. In particular, if he configures a proxy for his current user, no commands he runs as "sudo" will observe that. so if he's behind a proxy, nothing run under sudo can access the internet properly. It's a pain. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
