Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
I am behind a firewall, but use an ubuntu mirror on the local network.
Update-manager seems to ignore the automatic proxy configuration script
(which should tell it to ignore the proxy for local addresses) and falls
back upon the manual proxy configuration. (I know that it uses the
manual config because I deliberately entered details of a separate proxy
server in the manual fields to test this.) However, it also ignores the
exclusion list entered under the "advanced" tab of the gnome proxy
configuration dialogue.
This means the only way for me to bypass the proxy for the local mirror
is to manually set gnome to use no proxy every time.
(BTW, the fact that there is no indication to the user that manual
config is the fallback behaviour of apps that cannot use automatic
config scripts is also rather confusing.)
