Bug Description

I have recently installed ubuntu 8.04 on this computer; I am in a network where I have to pass throught an http proxy to connect to the internet.

I frequently receive the message 'Could not connect to database' during login, on when I execute certain programs from the terminal.
I get it about 10 or 15 times during boot.
I also get it when I start synaptic, and my mysql and apache log messages are full of warnings like this.

I don't understand to which database this message refers. It could be related to popularity-contest.
I have set the http_proxy and HTTP_PROXY correctly in my .bashrc file, and other programs that use these variables work as expected.

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2
Release: 8.04

Hi,
I am not getting this error anymore.

I have not noticed the message since a lot of time and I don't remember when it disappeared, sorry, maybe it has been when I updated the computer to Ubuntu 8.10.
If I do:
$: sudo grep -r 'Could not connect to database' /var
I don't get any remarkable result.
