I suspect that's also the case of livecd-rootfs: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/livecd-rootfs
I'm seeing autopkgtest failing to download small text files from addresses like people.canonical.com, ports.ubuntu.com, ubuntu-archive- team.ubuntu.com to name a few. One can see it's failing for most architectures across different Ubuntu releases. Not all cases are equal, but I found many logs like the ones below from jammy and later and I observed the tests that fail like that ran on STO (PS7) and the ones that didn't fail ran on BOS3 (PS6) for the same release, version and architecture: Either this ``` 248s autopkgtest [07:29:15]: test default-bootstraps: [----------------------- 248s Building rootfs for project: 'ubuntu-base' subproject: '' template: '' in /adt/tmp.SVp4PQFSeL/ubuntu-base:: 248s [2025-07-07 07:29:14] lb_config 248s [1;37mP[0m: Executing auto/config script. 248s Building on autopkgtest.local 248s Running germinate... 248s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 248s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 248s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/main/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/main/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/restricted/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky/restricted/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/main/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/main/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.xz file ... 249s Downloading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/restricted/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s Decompressing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-updates/restricted/source/Sources.xz file ... 249s * Downloading https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/seeds/ubuntu.plucky/STRUCTURE 249s !

The tests themselves are quite simple, they essentially run the live-build/auto/* shell scripts which don't touch proxy settings AFAICT. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2116119 Title: autopkgtests fail on PS7 due to mandatory proxy Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-boot-test package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Canonical PS7 (prodstack 7) now requires[1] a proxy for any outgoing connection, even to archive.ubuntu.com. This breaks assumptions made by some of the update-manager tests[2], which expect a direct connection. Long thread on internal mattermost here[3]. For example: 1320s ERROR: testOriginMatcherSimple (test_update_origin.TestOriginMatcher.testOriginMatcherSimple) 1320s ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1320s Traceback (most recent call last): 1320s File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 565, in update 1320s res = self._cache.update(fetch_progress, slist, pulse_interval) 1320s apt_pkg.Error: E:Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/InRelease Cannot initiate the connection to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (2620:2d:4000:1::101). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) Curiously, these tests seem to have passed in non-amd64 architectures, but closer inspection showed that these ran in good-old-PS6 (bos03), where direct connections to archive.ubuntu.com (and changelogs.ubuntu.com) are allowed. This bug might be invalid for update-manager in the end, and we could decide to allow such direct connections in PS7, but for the meantime, we need a place to discuss, and reference, because we are about to have to skip these tests for SRUs and migrations that this is blocking. Keep in mind that forcing all these tests to go through a proxy will also probably mean we will lose test coverage, since we are losing the directly-connected test scenario. Some troubleshooting was done already, here is some info. a) provisioning of proxy settings for PS7 autopkgtest vms: - echo http_proxy=http://egress.ps7.internal:3128/ >> /etc/environment - echo https_proxy=http://egress.ps7.internal:3128/ >> /etc/environment - echo no_proxy=127.0.0.1,127.0.1.1,localhost,localdomain >> /etc/environment - echo 'Acquire::http::Proxy \"http://egress.ps7.internal:3128/\";;' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99proxy 1.
