This also happens with entering using authentication via the gui proxy settings.
My understanding was that in apt.conf it should work if you URL encode the @ sign ie: http_proxy=http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9080 But entering this via the gui or by directly adding it to apt.conf did not work. Using the gui with the above it would complain that "could not find host [EMAIL PROTECTED]" so somewhere there someone was URL decodign the string before splitting on the @ sign as well. This was in a Ubuntu 7.10 installation -- synaptic proxy password must not contain "@" sign https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
