Description Dima Ryazanov 2009-11-18 22:24:42 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I'm trying to install the package icedtea6-plugin on Kubuntu.
I get the error "The package download failed. Please check your network connectivity.", with the following details:

Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/r/rhino/rhino_1.7R2-1ubuntu1_all.deb Could not connect to test-net.eng.cooliris.com:81 (10.50.65.105). - connect (111: Connection refused)
Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openjdk-6/openjdk-6-jre-headless_6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb Could not connect to test-net.eng.cooliris.com:81 (10.50.65.105). - connect (111: Connection refused)
...

Why is it trying to connect to test-net.eng.cooliris.com:81 ???

It works fine if I run "sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin" directly. The KDE proxy setting is "Connect to the Internet directly". I don't have anything weird in /etc/hosts. Every other program connects to the internet just fine. Where does that host/port come from?

There might be two issues here, first it should use
your apt proxy settings (ie /etc/apt/..) if there is nothing there
it will use the KDE settings.
If this is not what's happening then it might be that you
have set this proxy in KDE then changed to connect directly
to the internet, if this is the case tell me what version do you
have since it might be an old (and already fixed) bug.

Oh, found it. That host/port is in fact set under "Setup..." for the "Manually specify the proxy settings" option. It's not selected, but looks like KPackageKit uses it anyway.

The version of KPackageKit I have is 0.4.2-0ubuntu3 (as displayed by apt-cache).

Looks like it's the same as bug 213141.

Comment 4 Daniel Nicoletti 2009-11-24 14:37:38 UTC

Yes, it's the same thanks.
