I need a proxy server to connect the internet. I configured and then I can use pacman as root. But use pacman by sudo doesn't work.
Here is how I configure pacman:
/etc/pacman.conf
#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# NOTE: If you find a mirror that is geographically close to you, please
# move it to the top of the server list, so pacman will choose it
# first.
#
# To re-sort your mirror lists by ping/traceroute results, use the
# /usr/bin/sortmirrors script. It requires the "netselect" package.
#
# See the pacman manpage for option directives
#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
NoUpgrade = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow etc/sudoers
NoUpgrade = etc/fstab etc/raidtab etc/ld.so.conf
NoUpgrade = etc/rc.conf etc/rc.local
NoUpgrade = etc/modprobe.conf etc/modules.conf
NoUpgrade = etc/lilo.conf boot/grub/menu.lst
HoldPkg = pacman glibc
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --proxy-user=MyProxyUsername --proxy-password=ProxyPassword -c %o %u
#I tryed both the two XferCommand options and they works the same way.
#
# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here.
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#
#[testing]

#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs
And I also
export http_proxy=http://ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword@ProxyIPaddress:port
export ftp_proxy=http://ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword@ProxyIPaddress:port
I haven't change /etc/wgetrc .
My /etc/sudoers
# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.

When use pacman by sudo (I changed my default enviroment $LANG from "zh_CN.UTF-8 to "C" so that there's no Chinese in the output)

I moved my computer to a place that can directly connect to the internet without a proxy server.
Then I try to use pacman by sudo, the output are the followings.
steamedfish@SteamedFish:~$ sudo pacman -Su

I think you have a problem with
export http_proxy=http://ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword@ProxyIPaddress:port
export ftp_proxy=http://ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword@ProxyIPaddress:port
Depending where you call it, those variables are possibly not available in the sudo-environment. What you could try is calling pacman via sudo by the following command:
sudo http_proxy=http://ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword@ProxyIPaddress:port ftp_proxy=http://ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword@ProxyIPaddress:port pacman -Syu
Should work since you defined SETENV: ALL.

It won't work:(

That's not what mcover asked you to try at all!
Also, I am not sure how it works since I'm not using a proxy myself, but pacman (with libdownload behind) has some kind of proxy support.
Maybe it also uses the http_proxy and ftp_proxy env var. So you could try commenting the XferCommand in pacman.conf .
pacman roulette : pacman -S $(pacman -Slq | LANG=C sort -R | head -n $((RANDOM % 10)))

Oh I'm sorry I'm so sleepy that I misunderstand what mcover asked.
Now it works! Thank you very much.
