I ran into this on an Xenial to Bionic upgrade. After the upgrade to Bionic was complete, freshclam started trying to download clamav database through my apt proxy. The database download attempts failed due to apt proxy being strictly for apt only.
>From quick debugging... I think it might be related to update-manager's UpdateManager/Core/utils.py . utils.py has an init_proxy method to set the http(s)_proxy environment variables. Part of this method pulls the proxy settings from Acquire::https::Proxy before setting http(s)_proxy environment variables. I suspect it is this logic that is causing freshclam to start trying to download database updates from apt proxy on upgrade (a do-release- upgrade, in this case). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1161012 Title: Clamav package adds proxy to config on install and update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav/+bug/1161012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
