A summary of my observations:
My situation:
Normal actions in update-manager (1:0.111.9) work. I am able to get normal
package updates. So in this part, update-manger handles my auth-proxy
correctly. Without the credentials, the proxy would not handle any requests.
The credentials are stored in gconf. I always checked the correctness of
environment variable http_proxy before running a command from command line.
The jaunty-proposed package 1:0.111.10 does not solve my problem. The
notification "a new version of ubuntu..." is not shown.
The lucid-released package 1:0.130 (which i installed for testing on jaunty)
does not solve my problem. Notification not shown.
Both of Michaels patches (applied on 1:0.111.9) solve my problem for the
gui update-manager. But both did not help for do-release-update (this is
in contrast to observations made by jdobry)
The reason for failing on do-release-update is, that the problem is - at least
partially - independend of url_downloadable. On problem exists in
/usr/share/pyshared/UpdateManager/Core/MetaRelease.py around line 251. The code
generates
407: ('Proxy Authentication Required', 'You must authenticate with this proxy
before proceeding.'), So i assume that the fix of the patch has to be applied
on more places.
Should the bug be reopended for lucid?
