How did you fix your problem ? Because as I said if you run "dropbox start -i" as a user and have to install dropbox, it will use pkexec to run "dropbox update" as root and then the http_proxy environment variable is lost and things should break. So I think that you possibly closed this bug too quickly. :) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Pre-order a copy of the Debian Administrator's Handbook and help liberate it: http://debian-handbook.info/liberation/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
