Caveat: I no longer use Ubuntu. Yes, the new apt cron script seems to be mostly from upstream (Debian) without the http_proxy variable reference, so that part seems okay. So atleast 10.04 onwards the issue may have been fixed -- I'll leave it to somebody to test it, I'm sorry I don't have 10.04 machines around.
However, the Ubuntu version has the following diff (against Lenny): + # check for a new archive signing key (against the master keyring) + if eval apt-key net-update $XSTDERR; then + debug_echo "apt-key net-update (success)" + else + debug_echo "apt-key net-update (failure)" + fi So I'm not sure how this will work unless apt-key has been changed to pick up http_proxy settings from apt.conf (see lp:226780). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277493 Title: /etc/cron.daily/apt incorrectly overrides apt.conf proxy settings with GNOME proxy settings, losing proxy exclusion list, and causes updates to fail -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
