Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
My system (Ubuntu 9.10) is behind a proxy which requires authentication. The credentials are stored in gconf. I always checked the correctness of environment variable http_proxy before running a command from command line.Normal actions in update-manager (1:0.111.9) work. I am able to get normal package updates. So in this part, update-manger handles my auth- proxy correctly. Without the credentials, the proxy would not handle any requests. But i am not able to do a distribution upgrade, neither with update- manager nor do-release-upgrade. update-manager does not show the notification "a new version of ubuntu...", do-release-upgrade fails with: $ sudo env | grep http_proxy; sudo /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade [sudo] password for user: http_proxy=http://user:[email protected]:3128/ Checking for a new ubuntu release No new release found The jaunty-proposed package 1:0.111.10 does not solve my problem. The notification "a new version of ubuntu..." is still not shown. There are some patches in bug report #446552 which help a bit: Both of Michaels patches (applied on 1:0.111.9) solve my problem for the gui update-manager. But both did not help for do-release-update. The reason for failing on do-release-update is, that the problem is - at least partially - independend of url_downloadable. One problem exists in /usr/share/pyshared/UpdateManager/Core/MetaRelease.py around line 251. The code generates 407: ('Proxy Authentication Required', 'You must authenticate with this proxy before proceeding.'), So i assume that the fix of the patch has to be applied on more places. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- version upgrade via update-manager or do-release-upgrade does not work with proxy authentication https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479391 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
