Description Daniel Le Berre 2011-05-19 15:05:06 CEST 
Description of problem:

I updated a MDV 2010.2 with a Mageia 1 RC on a computer that is behind a proxy.

It looks like the package manager cannot access the internet when the computer is behind a proxy:
- during update, the installer failed to retrieve the list of media from the net
- when using the media manager, I got the following error message when trying to add manually the new media:

Impossible d'ajouter le média, erreurs rapportées :

impossible d'analyser media.cfg

Média : distrib ()

I tried with curl and wget, none of them is working.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

MGA 1 RC

How reproducible:

Always
Comment 1 Daniel Le Berre 2011-05-19 16:10:17 CEST 
Additional informations:

-After a while, I was able to get Mandriva sources from the media manager??? I do not understand why. I did not really change anything.

- Using a urpmi.addmedia -distrib with a mageia mirror fixed the problem

I installed successfully 2 MGA 1 RC before that one without any problem. The only difference here is the proxy. But I do not understand why I observed that behavior.
Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2011-05-19 23:44:18 CEST 
I expect this is due to dsn lookups failing in the installer.

ok, I see that mga servers have been also down for a while yesterday. I launched the installation around 2pm, so I got that error about 3pm. It might also be related to that.

Is this one still valid?
