Description Christian Heim (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-10 17:56:04 UTC 
Even if you set http_proxy in the environment (like export http_proxy="http://my-proxy:8080"), update-pciids ignores that value completely, which is strange since it relies upon wget (since neither curl nor lynx is present on the box).

x3850 ~ [0] $ sudo /usr/sbin/update-pciids
--21:34:44--  http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids.gz
           => `/usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz.new'
Resolving pciids.sourceforge.net... 66.35.250.209

And it just sits there ..

sudo filters env vars doesnt it ?
Comment 2 Tony Vroon (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-13 08:35:45 UTC 
Vapier is right; you'll want to uncomment this line:
# Defaults:%wheel       !env_reset

This is in /etc/sudoers
Comment 3 Christian Heim (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-13 20:21:17 UTC 
You both are right ...
