Title:
firmware-b43-installer fails to use proxy server
Status in “b43-fwcutter” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: b43-fwcutter
On our company network we need to use a proxy server (also for dns
requests). The firmware-b43-installer seems to not to use the
environment proxy setting (http_proxy) and fails:
Problem
user@host:~$sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
...
Setting up firmware-b43-installer (4.150.10.5-4) ...

Resolving mirror2.openwrt.org... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `mirror2.openwrt.org'
dpkg: error processing firmware-b43-installer (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4
Errors were encountered while processing:
firmware-b43-installer
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Download should work
A wget on that url actually works.
user@host:~$wget
http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
Workaround
set up proxychains and call apt-get like this:
user@host:~$sudo proxychains apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
Extra info
Don't think this is related but we use cntlm runing on localhost to
connect/authenticate to the company proxy.
