Hi All,
I have FC2 running on a machine inside our corporate firewall. The machine has no direct Internet access but must use squid running on the firewall machine. I started up2date, and it went through the setup-process for a first-time connection. I pointed it at squid:3128 and it seemed happy. However, when I tell it to go and start work, it puts up the following process dialog:
Fetching http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/fedora-core-2/headers/head...
and sits there on a permanent basis. Monitoring the network, there is no traffic and the squid log doesn't report any attempt to actually make the access.
What gives ?

up2date yum and apt backends ignore the proxy settings https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102272

Thanks - I did the 'export http_proxy' and ran "up2date -u" from the command line. It's still going, so it's a bit early to say that it definitely worked, but it's a definite step forward.

It might not be a squid problem as I had a similar problem on the first update attempt.
I changed /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to a different mirror and things updated. Your mileage may vary.
