Johnny, the issue you're seeing is not this bug; this bug is only about apt proxy settings being applied in cases where admins are not prepared to have them applied.

A known issue with the previous upload; I've filed this as bug #982032. Your real issue is that the download failed at all at package install time. ttf-mscorefonts-installer: downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader", line 234, in process_download_requests dest_file = urllib.urlretrieve(files[i])[0] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 93, in urlretrieve return _urlopener.retrieve(url, filename, reporthook, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 239, in retrieve fp = self.open(url, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 197, in open name = 'open_' + urltype TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.228.orig.tar.gz Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader", line 234, in process_download_requests dest_file = urllib.urlretrieve(files[i])[0] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 93, in urlretrieve return _urlopener.retrieve(url, filename, reporthook, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 239, in retrieve fp = self.open(url, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 197, in open name = 'open_' + urltype TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects I have not seen this error here. It's a very strange error, as it suggests that python's urllib was unable to parse the url that was passed to it - the same url that's shown immediately above the failure in the output. Please file a separate bug report against the update-notifier package by running the command 'ubuntu-bug update-notifier' from the affected system, so we can capture information about anything that may be wrong with your python installation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979477 Title: ttf-mscorefonts-installer installation popup and probable failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/979477/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
