Public bug reported:

I just ran:
  gksu "update-manager -c -d"

and received the error:

Could not find the release notes
  The server may be overloaded.

I traced the conversation with ethereal and it seems like it's trying to
talk to a host named "ubuntu", which obviously doesn't exist and so
squid fails, even though it seems to be talking to the correct address
(if I send the same request to the same IP without a transparent squid
in the way, it replies with the correct RelaseAnnouncement.

Here is the conversation from ethereal. Of particular note I believe is
the Host header.
