Hi,
looking at postinstall script
cd /var/cache/flashplugin-installer
[...]
# setting wget options
:> wgetrc
echo "noclobber = off" >> wgetrc
echo "dir_prefix = ." >> wgetrc
echo "dirstruct = off" >> wgetrc
echo "verbose = on" >> wgetrc
echo "progress = dot:default" >> wgetrc
# downloading the plugin
echo "Downloading..."
rm -f $FILENAME
WGETRC=wgetrc wget $PARTNER_URL \
|| fp_exit_with_error "download failed"
rm -f wgetrc
echo "Download done."
So it is overwriting /root/.wgetrc where maybe proxy settings are.
But it should get proxy settings from gnome or synaptic configuration
my workaround is to create a wget fake command
#/!bin/sh
HTTP_PROXY="http://ip:port";
PROXY_USER=proxyuser
PROXY_PASSWD=proxypass
http_proxy=$HTTP_PROXY /usr/bin/wget --http-password=$PROXY_PASSWD
--http-user=$PROXY_USER $1
then
export PATH=path_of_faked_wget:$PATH
--
installer seems to ignore proxy-settings
