Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
When updating to 9.10 from from 9.04, the update-manager uses a utility
function called "UpdateManager.Core.utils.url_downloadable". This
function skips urllib2 - which is properly configured to use the proxy
settings - and instead directly interacts with httplib, which requires
the caller to properly set up the request in order to use the proxy.
Changing the url_downloadable function to use the proxy resolves the
issue.
Specifically, I after:
if scheme == "http":
import httplib
try:
I added:
proxy = os.getenv('http_proxy')
if (proxy):
path = scheme + netloc + path
netloc = proxy
This resolved the problem. This, however, isn't really a fix - it relies
on the fact that init_proxy sets the http_proxy environment variable and
ignores anything else that might set up urllib2 to properly use a proxy
server.
