its a problem with how wget gets its proxy settings when invoked by apt or synaptic, etc. not a problem in the flashplugin package. i have the same problem when wine or b43 firmware is installed as both these packages download tarballs or other files during the installation process. for now the workaround would be setting http_proxy in /etc/wgetrc ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 283500 Synaptic, update-manager, apt-get and wget should share proxy settings * You can subscribe to bug 283500 by following this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/283500/+subscribe -- package flashplugin-installer 10.0.22.87ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade over proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362970 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
