Not with my system. I was upgradingu Ubuntu 8.04.1 to 8.04.2 today. Proxy is configured in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10proxy Acquire::http::Proxy "http://squid:8000";; apt-get uses this proxy configuratoin successfully but when flashplugin- nonfree is trying to download a file from macromedia.com using wget, it fails with timeouts. I checked "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" using "ps": When installing the package flashplugin-nonfree, a file /var/cache /flashplugin-nonfree/wgetrc is created that does *not* contain proxy configuration from apt. So when wget is called, the environment variable WGETRC is set to the wgetrc file and the file can not be retrieved from macromedia.com. Even worse, root's .wgetrc is overruled. -- Synaptic does not use proxy in some cases https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232469 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
