Bug Description

Binary package hint: apt

Trying to configure Apt to work with Authenticated proxy with an "@" into the username "field" causes an 407 (username incorrect) when trying to update the repository lists.

I have the next configuration into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80proxy file:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://user@domain:password@proxy_host:proxy_port";
Acquire::http::DIRECT "repo_without_proxy";

this outputs the next lines:

Err http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages
  407 Proxy Authentication Required ( El servidor ISA requiere autorización para completar la petición. Acceso denegado al filtro proxy web. ) [IP: my_proxy_ip 8080]

Thanks for your bugreport. I looked at the code and it seems like it should handle the "@" correctly. Could you please run "sudo apt-get update -o Debug::acquire::http=true" and attach the output? Please edit it before as it will contain the proxy password in plain text.
