"Same here".. After setting the http_proxy environment variable, I can use wget and similar and reach sites on the internet.. But running "do-release- upgrade -d" or running "update-manader -d" and clicking the "Upgrade" fails. The first only shows "Checking for a new ubuntu release" forever until I break (^C). The second needs to be killed.
