aptdaemon does not support proxy settings

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.

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

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

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

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

Thank you very much. It is working now!
