Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdebi
Further Information:
I have set up proxy setting in both Gnone Proxy setting found under
System-->Preferences-->Network Proxy as well as under Netwerk tab of
Preferences under Synaptic Package Manager. Now when I try to install a
package by Gdebi-gtk , it cannot download packages giving the errors like
"<package location> 403 Proxy Authentication Required" .
However, executing the same thing with terminal like this " gdebi-gtk
<pakage file>.deb " installs all the dependencies by downloading them
correctly. The same effect can be acheived by unsetting proxy everywhere,
exporting http_proxy=http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/ in the terminal
and then starting gdebi-gtk.
Steps to reproduce:
Setup a ubuntu box that works behind a proxy with authentication required.
This might be reproduced by running Tor or a local squid proxy. Then download
any .deb package which needs further dependencies from repositaries. Right
click and choose open with Gdebi Package Installer. Give gksudo password. The
installation then gives error.
