I confirm this bug in Maverick (10.10) too.
How to reproduce it:
1) Launch gnome-network- properties
2) Select "Manual configuration"
3) Enter proxy host and port
4) Click 'Details' button to enter authentication data
5) In the details popup select "Use authentication" and enter username and password
6) Click Apply to system widely
Then look at:
- /etc/environment
- /etc/apt/apt.conf
Current configuration:
- /etc/environment:
http_proxy="http:// myproxy: 3128/"
- /etc/apt/apt.conf:
Acquire: :http:: proxy "http:// myproxy: 3128/"
Expected configuration:
- /etc/environment:
http_proxy="http:// username: password@ myproxy: 3128/"
- /etc/apt/apt.conf:
Acquire: :http:: proxy "http:// username: password@ myproxy: 3128/"
