I am trying to do a release upgrade to karmic from jaunty and have noticed it does not honor proxy settings. Currently, regular upgrades work, but the dist-upgrade is failing. I am running from a non-privileged user prompt
sudo update-manager -d In another terminal i have a tcpdump running. When update-manager launches I can see it connecting to my apt-cacher on port 3142. But when I click the new distribution upgrade button, I can see it making direct requests to the internet, bypassing the proxy server. I have proxy unset in the environment variables, but set in apt.conf, in synaptics, and in gnome all to the same thing. (my apt-cacher) Even when I use the http_proxy= environment variable I get the same result. It seems update-manager's dist-upgrade process ignores any proxy setting. Is anyone else having this problem? -- update-manager doesn't honor apt.conf Proxy setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/361554 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
