Comment 8 for bug 1730672

I was able to make apt work, by manually editing the /etc/apt/apt.conf file, and removing the proxy information from there. But I am having trouble installing any snaps, and still have to find a way to make that work.

Jason, I upgraded from 17.04 as well but I did not have any trouble interestingly. I think I removed the system wide proxy in 17.04 before upgrading, because that certain university proxy won't let me grab the upgrade, but then while I am using 17.10 the env variables($http_proxy, etc) are set to that proxy, for some reason. I have not used the proxy since upgrading or during the upgrade.
