I have had a similar problem during a Feisty to Gutsy upgrade using apt- cacher as proxy (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update- manager/+bug/113658 ), but it's a generic proxy problem. If Canonical are serious about the corporate market, where proxy servers are very common, they need to fix this sort of bug... Having to hack around on the command line is fine for me since I've used Linux for ages, but users new to Linux will probably just give up or have to use the apt-get upgrade method, which of course can lead to breakage that requires *more* expertise to fix.
Please fix this bug and the 113658 bug. Your corporate users will thank you! -- Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24250 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
