I added the 2 lines to the file /etc/wgetrc : http_proxy = http://10.0.0.2:3128/ ftp_proxy = http://10.0.0.2:3128/
I did a locate for "wgetrc" and found - /var/cache/flashplugin-installer/wgetrc So I added those 2 lines in there aswell. re-running the apt-get upgrade - seemed to then just work..... -- package flashplugin-installer 10.0.22.87ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade over proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362970 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
