I will take care of a stretch-pu of debian-edu-config. I am sure, that we will get this in alright. Do you see any other issues that we should fix with such a proposed-update? Only changes / fixes that are not too invasive.

This happens because 'update-proxy-from-wpad' unsets http_proxy before evaluating the 'wpad-extract' output. > So I figure rather this script to be the culprit, 'proxy' is working ok. No, update-proxy-from-wpad isn't the reason. While 'http_proxy= /usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/wpad-extract' returns the proxy url when run on the main server (where wpad.dat is available locally on the web server's document root), this same commands returns nothing on workstations. A workstations seems like failing to fetch wpad.dat from the web server. I suspect the changed behaviour to be due to the KDE4 (Jessie) -> KDE5 (Stretch) migration. After trying different kioslaverc settings to no avail, the only chance to get it working again seems to be using pactester, i.e. the Buster wpad-extract script version Wolfgang signature.asc Description: PGP signature

AFAICT the wpad-extract script is working ok if /etc/environment has this content (like it should have): http_proxy=http://webcache:3128 ftp_proxy=http://webcache:3128 https_proxy=http://webcache:3128 While /usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/update-proxy-from-wpad works ok on a main server and correctly rewrites an emptied environment file, the script seems to fail on clients: all three variables are unset. No idea why this happens. So I figure rather this script to be the culprit, 'proxy' is working ok. Please check if you can reproduce it.

I wasn't able to get 'proxy' working on Buster, maybe due to KDE changes. Wolfgang signature.asc Description: PGP signature
