aptdaemon does not support proxy settings

[Claus Frein]

I'm behind a firewall and can connect to the internet via a proxy, which i have configured in gnome.

Proxy-aware applications like Synaptic use it, update-manager does not.

Message is:
---
Updating cache

Downloading 0B of 4B
---

And after moment:
"Failed to download repository information"

> dpkg -l update-manager
update-manager 1:0.125.6

[Giovanni Mellini (merlos)]

I had same problem.
Applying proxy settings "System Wide" force aptdeamon to use proxy settings so update-manager can connect to Internet.

I think that users expect that aptdeamon uses proxy settings without pushing "Apply System Wide" button, as older Ubuntu versions.

Giovanni. This workaround doesn't work if you need proxy authentication. I just changed proxy configuration and set authentication on "Network Proxy" clicking "Apply System Wide" and also changed inside Synaptics. Update-manager still doesn't work even after rebooting. I'm able to use Firefox and Synaptics fine.

update-manager error message: 407 Proxy Authentication Required.

[Sebastian Heinlein (glatzor)]

I will add an HttpProxy and FtpProxy property to the org.debian.apt.Transaction interface.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package aptdaemon - 0.10+bzr259-0ubuntu1

---------------
aptdaemon (0.10+bzr259-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/aptd_http_proxy.patch:
    - add basic http proxy proxy support (LP: #446069)
  * dropped patches:
    - debian/patches/aptd_locking_fixes.patch
    - debian/patches/fix_syslog_crash.patch
    Both got accepted upstream (no other changes in r259)

Is there a workaround so i can run update-manager to get this fix?

Thanks in advance.

@Wagner Nobres: You can run apt-get from the terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

[Wagner Nobres (wagner.nobres)]

Thank you Lars! It worked.

I just had to open /etc/apt/apt.conf and add the username and password to
the http_proxy variable also.

Thank you!

Hi,

I'm using the 0.10+bzr259-0ubuntu1 package released above, but Update Manager still throws 407 Authentication Errors, even after clicking the "Apply System-wide" button again, and a reboot.

Again, Synaptic is working fine but all the other apt programs don't work.

Thanks,
Dave

[David Harper (inquisitivedave)]

It seems to be working now. Thanks for all your help.

[Wagner Nobres (wagner.nobres)]

Thank you very much. It is working now!
