Public bug reported:
I am running Gutsy Beta with all the updates until Oct. 5th on an AMD64
machine.
Here's the problem: I am connecting to the internet over WLAN, using a VPN
connection and a proxy is needed for the network. The proxy of the normal
network blocks most ports, including POP, SMTP etc., but SSH is open. Setting
this proxy in system => settings => network proxy, apt recoginzes it and I can
install updates and new packages.
Trying to use a SSH proxy with 'ssh -D 1080 [EMAIL PROTECTED]' and setting this
as a socks proxy in Gnome (system => settings => network proxy: localhost and
1080), it doesn't work. I cannot download updates and Evolution (which uses
these settings?) doesn't connect either. If I set exactly the same thing in
Firefox, I can browse the web without a problem and Thunderbird works, too.
