Thanks. Unfortunately this doesn't help: do-release-upgrade doesn't show
any GUI, it lives in the console.
I think without feedback of a developer working on update manager we
can't move forward. I could dig through the code, but my TODO list is
more than full already. :-(
Maybe we can just close it. It's not particularly important, and it's
not clear how to test it now.
Maybe installing 11.04 in a virtual machine, selectively getting in
latest update manager and then have the window appear would be a way to
test it. But that's quite complex.

Title:
"Ubuntu distro Upgrade Available" dialog ignores HTTP proxy settings
when fetching release info
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Release: Ubuntu 11.04 Natty
The dialog announcing the availability of a new Ubuntu release seems
to ignore HTTP proxy settings when it fetches a document from Ubuntu
website - see the attached screenshot.
Note that this is a cosmetic issue that affects the dialog only,
update itself is not affected and works ok.
As far as I know, the proxy is correctly set in the http_proxy
environment variable, in the gnome proxy settings (whatever that does
in the end...) and in apt configuration, so both apt and e.g. web
browsing work ok on that box.
I don't know the precise version of update-manager, but it happened
recently, before I upgraded to 11.10, so I think whatever is the
current version in Natty is affected (1:0.150.4?).
