Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I tried to update my distribution using packagekit, but I faced proxy issues.
I faced the same issue with pkcon.
Note that:
- The proxy was disabled in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* files.
- No *_proxy environment variables were set.
- The proxy was disabled in systemsettings.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
For each the following step, pkcon refresh was still using proxy settings
(which was unexpected!)
- clear proxy settings from ~/.config/kioslaverc (see
https://discuss.kde.org/t/pkcon-trying-to-get-update-from-proxy-but-proxy-is-down/26764/2)
- clear the proxy table from /var/lib/PackageKit/transactions.db (see
https://discuss.kde.org/t/i-setup-a-proxy-ip-failed-to-setup-and-now-discover-is-giving-errors-when-trying-to-update-for-some-ppas/4627/5)
- remove the /var/lib/PackageKit/transactions.db file (see
https://discuss.kde.org/t/pkcon-trying-to-get-update-from-proxy-but-proxy-is-down/26764/3)
Finally, packagekit stopped using the proxy settings after all these operations
and restarting its service:
sudo systemctl restart packagekit.service
(see https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php%3Ff=309&t=161739.html)
* What was the outcome of this action?
I solved the problem by applying the above steps.
Restarting packagekit.service was required.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
pkcon (and packagekit) shouldn't use a possibly outdated data (from
~/.config/kioslaverc or /var/lib/PackageKit/transactions.db).
Alternatively, these settings should mirror the proxy settings defined in
systemsettings.
I possible workaround would probably consist in making packagekit.service
monitor these files.
Best regards
