User is not prompted with an option to import when new
key is present in the index catalog with preview option
Preview option does not prompt user to import new key which is added to the index catalog.
Workaround: User should provide --import-public-key to import the new keys or use --ignore-signature option to
skip signature check and import keys to proceed further.

the system proxy is configured using command line
Auto proxy in DSU works only when the proxy is set through LAN setting options.
DSU fails to download the catalog when proxy server is
provided along with the password

For windows users: It is recommended to provide input within the double quotes.
Example: dsu /i --proxy="http://test:test$123@100.100.194.05:8990"

Example: dsu -i --proxy=http://test:abc\$123@100.100.194.05:8990

credentials

line.
