*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 48682 ***

Here the problem is not that proxy settings in the browsers are ignored, but
that the env variable http_proxy is ignored too, but *only* for the upgrade
check.
The effect is insidious because the rest of the package management (apt,
aptitude, synaptic, adept...) works flawlessly after you set the variable.
Only, no upgrades on release :-)
I think Bug #48682 would be mostly fixed by setting system wide proxy settings
from the browsers (or maybe better by adding a system wide proxy configuration
apps in the Settings, that takes care of proxies in browsers and shell). So,
IMHO it's not really an Adept problem: if i manually configure the system, all
works.
That is not the case for this problem, since the updater itself is trying to
get a file without using a proxy or a proxy aware file downloader. So the
problem this time is in Adept.
While the fix for #48682 isn't easy to made, changing Adept to use (for
example) KGet via dcop or a kio to download the upgrade file should be far
easier :-)
Ciao,
Roberto
