Research direction

No files or tests are identified in the report. Start by reproducing the issue on Mint 22.3 with manual proxy settings in Network Manager, then trace how mintinstall obtains proxy configuration; it is done when those settings affect the software manager's network requests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Proxy settings ("manual") set inside the network manager don't have an effect on my software manager.
I'm assuming those correspond to HTTP_PROXY and other proxy env vars.
Re-setting them, changing them in the network manager, restarting mintinstall does not seem to change anything.
