[Bug 651229] Re: update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no internet access

[Adam Niedling]

This is still a problem in Ubuntu 13.10. It just keeps trying to connect without success and there is no error message that it can't connect.
 And when I press stop it's telling me that "The software on this computer is up to date". Why is it saying that? It can't know it because it couldn't check it.

Title:
  update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no
  internet access

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  System has internet access via a proxy server with authentication.
  All info is set in "System/Preferences/Network Proxy" and applied system wide.
  Update manager reports a "407" when trying to download.
  Firefox hasn't any problems using the system defaults.
  As we all know, synaptic has got its own proxy preferences. That works and this is the only way for updating the system.
