Bug Description
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
When I try to install flashplugin-nonfree from synaptic or any other gui, the wget command in the script does not pick up the $http_proxy variable and fails the download. If I install from the command line with apt-get, it picks up the proxy and works perfectly.

Either synaptic isn't using /etc/apt/apt.conf and/or the proxy is not configured in the System menu.
