Comment 7 for bug 534225

Also got the problem here. I thought it to be Bug #432631, but this description fits better.

export no_proxy=$(echo $no_proxy | sed 's/,$//')
Does help to alleviate the problem, but does not fix it. Thats why I think both this bug and #432631 is the culprits in breaking apt through a proxy in 10.04.

We on a university campus, behind a proxy server, really want this bug to be fixed. We have local ftp repo's and use http internet repo's. But the ignored hosts in gnome-network-properties is ignored.
