[Bug 223502] Re: apt cron.daily script doesn't check value-existence
It seems the values for these variables are user based. Then if you run the command gconftool --get /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy with a user that is not the proper one, you get that error. In /etc/cron.daily/apt you have: admin_user=$(getent group admin|cut -d: -f4|cut -d, -f1) and: use=$(sudo -u $admin_user gconftool --get /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy) This mean the script uses the first user in the group admin, that in this case is my login user. I added the root user in the group admin, look like it's fixed now. Had to check also if variables were set for user root though, they usually are. Don't know why a cron job (running as root), would sudo quering the conf table of the the first admin user for the info on the proxy. Looks like a workaround or something unclean, even more for a server install. This procedure is used also in other cron scripts. -- apt cron.daily script doesn't check value-existence https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223502 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The bug status makes this look like it's fixed, but it is still broken in Intrepid (and I can't figure out how to indicate that). As Intrepid is still a supported release, this seems like relevant information. -- apt cron.daily script doesn't check value-existence https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223502 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As of April 24, 2009 this bug is back in Hardy, most likely a regression issue. /etc/cron.daily/apt: No value set for `/system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy' No value set for `/system/http_proxy/host' No value set for `/system/http_proxy/port' -- apt cron.daily script doesn't check value-existence https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223502 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

+1 I use this workaround myself.
