Bug Description
I have a machine at work that uses a web proxy. I configured the proxy in my
GNOME settings and in the apt settings, despite that u-m still says:
"Failed to download changes. Please check if there is an active internet connection"
u-m should use apt's proxy settings.
(This is from Hoary, cannot check Breezy until I've got in installation CD for it)

Thanks for your bugreport.
A possible fix would be to run update-manageras normal user and only become root to actually install the updates. This would solve this problem.
Cheers,
