This is in reference to this issue.
The GUI has issues with setting proxy settings for places where elevated privileges are required, like /etc/environment, /etc/apt/apt.conf. The current solution for privilege escalation is pkexec, using which is added to the subprocess which executes the respective script with proper arguments. However, it's easy to execute scripts with sudo permission from Terminal, but GUI should give some kind of out of the box experience.
Alternative solutions are welcome.
Any fix will be greatly appreciated.
