[John Welch]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:	10.04


Here is what happens,

I cannot get Flash Working.

When I run Synaptic Package Manager and try to select

flashplugin-nonfree

Here is what happens:

Preconfiguring packages ...

Retrying


The issue is this when trying to get this package, it is not going thru my proxy server.

However all other package downloads via this interface do.

I can see the :80 and while running a TCPDUMP on my host I see the
traffic desinted for this site over 80 ..

For some reason this one specific package cannot connect and pull this
off via proxy.


I can open firefox and browse to this dirctory on the distant end just fine and even download the file.  When I run other package downloads all traffic is routed via my proxy settings according to tcpdump and they all work fine,

It is almost like there is a post install instruction somewhere that is
overriding the proxy and trying to send it straight out to 80 which is
not allowed.
