Bug Description
This concerns update-
I got this e-mail message from a system running inside a corporate network that blocks outbound port 80 connections (a proxy is required for Web access):
Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily' on test-ubuntu64
/etc/cron.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
dest_file = urllib.
File "/usr/lib/
return _urlopener.
File "/usr/lib/
fp = self.open(url, data)
File "/usr/lib/
return getattr(self, name)(url)
File "/usr/lib/

Walter Garcia-Fontes, please do not mark this bug as a duplicate of bug 1037662. This bug occurred due to a proxy issue, but it specifically addresses p-d-d's inability to handle network errors in general in a robust way.
