Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: adept
I was trying to update from Edgy to Feisty on a computer that's on a very
restrictive network (outside access is via http proxy only).
As such I configured both Konqueror and Firefox with a proxy setting script,
and added to /etc/profile an export for http_proxy and https_proxy.
apt-get, aptitude and such worked without a problem on this system.
When I tried the upgrade to feisty, following the not so clear
instructions on www.kubuntu.org (I'm still looking for the "Version
Upgrade" button...), nothing happened... a download windows appeared for
a half second but nothing.
After a couple of days (and 2 other computers in different networks
upgraded) I started to check if the problem was a direct HTTP access to
the version infos and Distribution Upgrade Tool... and it was:
Apr 24 11:52:05 ssi009n038 kernel: [17185923.892000]
Shorewall:OUTPUT:REJECT:IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=172.16.149.38 DST=82.211.81.132 LEN=60
TOS=0x00
PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=45343 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=47044 DPT=80 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00
SYN URGP=0
the address 82.211.81.132 resolves to rookery.ubuntu.com, from where I
was able to download the upgrade package which I then started manually
to upgrade.
Ciao,
Roberto
