Title:
  System-wide proxy settings do not affect apt-get, wget

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  In System->Preferences->Network Proxy, I set it to use Manual proxy
  configuration, using the same proxy for all protocols. I provide the
  HTTP proxy, port, and in details the authentication username and
  password. On applying system-wide and closing, I still need to change
  files such as /etc/apt/apt.conf, /etc/environment to include the
  authentication to be like "http://username:password@proxy-ip:port/";. I
  also need to add the proxy details in /etc/wgetrc - the proxy settings
  themselves as well as proxy_user and proxy_passwd.

  In the debian stable, all these things are done automatically by gnome-network-properties.
  This problem existed in ubuntu 11.04 beta 2 also.
