I am having the exact same behaviour except I'm getting the message: There was some sort of I/O error: <urlopen error (101, 'Network is unreachable')> NOTE: The RH Network Alert Notification Tool is able to use the proxy to download the list of updates no problem. the httpProxy config in up2date config is only for RHN services. To use for yum/apt, set the approximate HTTP_PROXY env variables. I did set the "HTTP_PROXY and friends" variables (see my original description), but that didn't help up2date. Eventually I learned about the "yum update" command, which successfully updates my system without the use of up2date. So I have my workaround now. Try setting "http_proxy" and then running /usr/sbin/up2date from the command line. /Usr/bin/up2date is a link to consolehelper, which seems to be resetting some of the environment variables. I run in the same command line: HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy:3128 up2date and it did solve "Network is unreachable" problem.

Thanks for the tip. This works for me althought it would seem this workaround should be unnecessary once the Network Proxy Configuration has been set. Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! Closing per lack of response to previous comment. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to Fedora Legacy and the appropriate version. The bug could also be filed against RHEL if it is relevant there. up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup in FC5 and FC6, the still fully supported versions of Fedora Core, so this bug will not be fixed unless it is a security issue. |
