AFAICT the wpad-extract script is working ok if /etc/environment has this content (like it should have): http_proxy=http://webcache:3128 ftp_proxy=http://webcache:3128 https_proxy=http://webcache:3128 While /usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/update-proxy-from-wpad works ok on a main server and correctly rewrites an emptied environment file, the script seems to fail on clients: all three variables are unset. No idea why this happens. So I figure rather this script to be the culprit, 'proxy' is working ok. Please check if you can reproduce it.

I wasn't able to get 'proxy' working on Buster, maybe due to KDE changes. Wolfgang
