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

Thank you Aghast for the workaround! I had the same problem with Update Manager but also noticed that: - I had the system wide proxy set - on a shell this resulted in variables all_proxy, ftp_proxy, http_proxy, https_proxy and no_proxy being set and exported - the values are passed to sudo,
