eBox doesn't allow outgoing connections from eBox server itself.

[Soren Hansen]

eBox does not allow outgoing connections from the eBox server itself. While
this may make sense for the dedicated-eBox-server use case, it basically
renders an existing machine useless if ebox-firewall is installed.

I have the same problem but I don't think that "this may make sense for the dedicated-eBox-server use case" because, how to update the system?

The software upgrade tool (not yet packaged) could open the firewall, do
its thing, and close it again. Alternatively, access could be granted to
the mirror you've chosen to use.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
