[Bug 601883] Re: update-manager fails to download release notes with apt-cacher-ng

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apt-cacher-ng - 0.4.7-1ubuntu2

---------------
apt-cacher-ng (0.4.7-1ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low

  * convert package to 3.0 (quilt) format
  * pull existing stat::stat patch over to quilt patch
  * update-manager -d requires access to the DevelReleaseAnnouncement
    accessing it with a ?lang=foo suffix.  Add this to the persistant
    files list.  LP: #601883.

Status in “apt-cacher-ng” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Status in “update-manager” source package in Lucid: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager

TEST CASE:
1. use lucid with the latest update (but with the normal apt-cacher-ng)
2. run apt-cacher-ng on this machine
3. point proxy to apt-cacher-ng and run "update-manager -d"
4. verify that no release update appears

5. install the new apt-cacher-ng from lucid-proposed
6. repeat 2,3 and verify that it works now

Now that update-manager is correctly honouring the apt Proxy configuration update-manager -d upgrades to the next development release no longer work.  The download of the DevelReleaseAnnouncement fails.  This seems to occur because the request has a ?lang=<foo> suffix.
