Comment 4 for bug 1005837

I administer >100 hosts with 12.04LTS and 14.04LTS and the problem with update-notifier-common not respecting proxy settings is very annoying.
I have set the proxy in /etc/apt/apt.d/95proxies in /etc/environment and with gsettings as recommended in http://askubuntu.com/questions/150210/how-do-i-set-systemwide-proxy-servers-in-xubuntu-lubuntu-or-ubuntu-studio but still anacron reports the error.
I think the real bug is #1209146 as anacron does not run with the correct environment settings.
