[Bug 336901] [NEW] proxychains won't forward through ntlmaps on localhost

[Ethan Baldridge]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: proxychains

Attempting to report a crash in evolution via apport (which doesn't
listen to $http_proxy or the GNOME proxy setting apparently) by forcing
the connection through ntlmaps via proxychains.

I can't get it to forward through the local proxy to the Windows proxy
for the life of me.

/etc/proxychains.conf relevant bits:
#dynamic_chain
strict_chain
#random_chain

chain_len = 1

http 127.0.0.1 5865

---

Running "unset http_proxy && proxychains /usr/bin/ubuntu-bug -p evolution" shows the "Collecting problem information" progress bar, which stops moving (sent SIGSTOP by proxychains, I assume) and the console displays:
ProxyChains-2.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)
strict chain:....127.0.0.1:5865..broken

The problem is not in ntlmaps, as everything (firefox, wget, curl, apt,
etc.) proxies normally through it. Proxychains also exhibits this
behaviour when set to Dynamic or Random chaining (shouldn't be a
difference as the chain is length one, but I figured more information is
better than less).

With dynamic chaining, the behavious is slightly different, but I'm not sure it's in a meaningful way. I get a list of:
dynamic chain:....127.0.0.1:5865....access denied to..91.189.90.132:80 (which is rookery.canonical.com)
repeated over several times until it likewise sends SIGSTOP to apport. The "access denied" message is probably not pointing in the right direction, as I can reach that address just fine via firefox (which is also going through the local ntlmaps proxy).

I believe this package is just broken, at least with regard to
connections via localhost, as I can't get it to work with elinks or any
other app either.
