I also had this issue in Ubuntu 10.10 32bit, however I was able to mostly resolve it by modifying my /etc/apt/apt.conf according to zerozone's post in the following link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-83401.html I wasn't able to see any "For Purchase" apps, however I was able to install and update from both the Update Manager and the Ubuntu Software Centre. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to resolve the Empathy issue. For reference, here is what my apt.conf looks like: APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; Acquire::http::proxy "http://domain\username:[email protected]:port/";; Acquire::ftp::proxy "http://domain\username:[email protected]:port/";; Acquire::https::proxy "http://domain\username:[email protected]:port/";; -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545134 Title: Ubuntu Software Centre ignores system and apt Proxy settings -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
