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.
