Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

First of all the normal proxy settings in System->Preferences->Network Proxy does not seem to affect anything not Gaim nor Synaptic. Furthermore the internal proxy settings of Synaptic are not affecting anything either.

Ok it seems that manual proxy configuration in System->Preferences->Network Proxy makes it work... but the automatic proxy configuration doesn't.

Auto proxy config can't work for non-browser apps, because the autoproxy script is a Javascript file (see my comments on Bug 22705). However, this should be noted somewhere.

Or perhaps we can move installation of updates into the browser, like Microsoft does. :-p
