Trying out alpine-mini-1.10_rc1-x86.iso (behind proxy).
I put it on a bootable USB-mem.

Started by setting up alpine.

setup-alpine

Modified /etc/apk/repositories

/media/usbdisk/apks
http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v1.10/packages/main

Set up my proxy settings

export http_proxy=http://proxy:8080

And tried to update apk repository

apk update

But the update fails

ERROR: Failed to update http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v1.10/packages/main

If you try wget you will even get ‘Segmentation fault’

testbox:~# wget http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v1.10/packages/main
Connecting to proxy:8080 (192.168.1.100:8080)
Segmentation fault

Solution to the above problem is to install the ‘real’ wget

apk add wget

but the problem is that if you are behind proxy, you won’t be able to get it :-/
(When you have installed wget you have no problems with the proxy.)

Any ideas on how to solve this?
