mintsources ignores the proxy settings no matter what I try. I tried to define the proxy in the network settings and by a profile.d shell script.

This bug exists since Mint 19.3

Workaround: do not use a mirror server.

What doesn't work in mintsources when you enable the proxy? And can you share which settings you set in profile.d?

There was an earlier issue (#191) on this that was about gpg keys not being added when adding a PPA, which is an issue with dirmngr used by apt-key which mintsources uses: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1433761

It is impossible to choose a mirror. I see lots of TCP SYN, so the proxy settings are ignored.

My /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh:

http_proxy=http://172.22.2.1:80
https_proxy=http://172.22.2.1:80
export http_proxy
export https_proxy

I have also enabled the proxy settings in the 'network settings' , still no luck.
I just have seen that there is a proxy setting in 'network connection'. But it is unusable, it knows only 'none' and 'automatic'.

if this is regarding the proxy ignored for gpg see my PR #209

I just started
/usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/mintsources
from a shell and got many lines like

Error '(7, 'Failed to connect to linuxmint-packages.mirror.liteserver.nl port 80: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt')'

on STDERR => connection refused. No problem to access linuxmint-packages.mirror.liteserver.nl with a web browser that is configured with 'use system proxy settings'.
