Can someone test latest trunk and clarify whether this is still a bug? If so, please mark the status as confirmed ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- [karmic] 407 proxy authentication failure in Ubuntu software centre and IM even after applying systemwide proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/466142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 466142] Re: [karmic] 407 proxy authentication failure in Ubuntu software centre and IM even after applying systemwide proxy
I was able to demonstrate that all of [apt-get, dpkg, aptitude, gdebi,
gdebi-gtk, synaptic] _do_ allow the $http_proxy environment variable to
propagate down to the package's install script, and therefore to `wget`:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
rm -f flashplugin-installer*
apt-get install flashplugin-installer # to cache it
RMV(){ apt-get remove flashplugin-installer; }
RMV; http_proxy=fail:// apt-get install flashplugin-installer
RMV; http_proxy=fail:// dpkg -i flashplugin-installer*.deb
RMV; http_proxy=fail:// aptitude reinstall flashplugin-installer
RMV; http_proxy=fail:// gdebi flashplugin-installer*.deb
RMV; http_proxy=fail:// gdebi-gtk flashplugin-installer*.deb
RMV; http_proxy=fail:// synaptic# then install flashplugin-installer
These of course all fail with a `wget` error message about wrong schema
for the proxy URL; clearly demonstrating that $http_proxy got to them.
Whereas this one:
RMV; http_proxy=fail:// software-center
passes _no_ proxy setting to the install script -- which then proceeds
to try a fruitless direct connect.
So the actual current situation is that this problem is _fixed_ for the
other installers, at least the ones I tried, while software-center
recreates the problem for itself by purging $http_proxy from the
environment of its subprocess; or, in any case, failing to get it across
to `aptd`.
The same behaviors apply with respect to synaptic software-center when
loaded from my window manager menus. $http_proxy is set by something
and propagates down as it should, except in software-center.
I did not test update-manager, not knowing how to trick it into thinking
a back-rev version of flashplugin-installer was on my system needing an
update.
(There's another whole set of bugs with this: my GUI-configured proxy
setting is supposed to be the same for all protocols, but only
$http_proxy is getting into my env, and `wget`, at least, interprets
this literally as proxying only HTTP.)

[Bug 466142] Re: [karmic] 407 proxy authentication failure in Ubuntu software centre and IM even after applying systemwide proxy
Hi -- I have a variant of this bug. I've installed the 1.1.0~ppa1 update and (as I suspected) it didn't fix my issue. The issue is that software-center does not pass system-wide proxy settings to its subprocesses. This means that packages which are wrappers for alternative download methods still fail. Two examples of such packages are flashplugin-installer and ttf- mscorefonts-installer. Attached (evidence.tar.gz) is some terminal output, a window shot of a stuck software-center process, and a window shot of gconf-editor showing the proxy config. software-center is perfectly happy to install normal packages; in fact it had to download flashplugin-installer.deb to get as far as it did. The actual bug here might arguably be in some other layer -- debconf, aptd, dpkg itself?, or the individual packages (flashplug-installer). Perhaps it should even be addressed in multiple places. I encountered it with software-center so that's where I'm injecting this. ** Attachment added: command log window capture of subprocess proxy issue http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35592036/evidence.tar.gz ** Attachment removed: command log window capture of subprocess proxy issue http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35592036/evidence.tar.gz -- [karmic] 407 proxy authentication failure in Ubuntu software centre and IM even after applying systemwide proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/466142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Bela, The issues you mention are also a problem when using Synaptic, Update Manager, apt-get and dpkg. I think that the packages themselves use their own settings for wget (which is what they use to download their files). Each package will probably need changes to respect the system- wide proxy.

I have made my first attempt at uploading to a ppa. If you want, you can try it out (I suggest just downloading the software-center package): https://launchpad.net/~allsymes/+archive/ppa/ I tested it out and it worked with my http proxy. -- [karmic] 407 proxy authentication failure in Ubuntu software centre and IM even after applying systemwide proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/466142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
