Proxy settings are missing in apt.conf

[Reiner Bielefeld]

Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch)
Release: 17.10

When proxies are set via network settings dialog this does not affect apt.conf.
This results in software installation and upgrade problems.

I had to specify proxies by adding "Acquire" in apt.conf.
