Attempted to use Lite Upgrade to update a 3.4 system to 3.6 and get an error message:
"Linux Lite Upgrade Utility was unable to establish a connection with the Linux Lite master repository. Please check your internet connection and try again."
This system can only access the internet via a web proxy, for which the details have been set in environment variables in /etc/environment and APT configuration options in /etc/apt/apt.conf. The Install Updates utility works normally and I had run this (and successfully applied some updates) and rebooted before attempting to run Lite Upgrade. I've also successfully installed Lite Software packages on this system.
I can therefore only conclude that Lite Upgrade is not respecting any of the proxy settings in place.
If Lite Upgrade can be convinced to do the upgrade via a proxy, how do I set the proxy details? If it doesn't support a proxy, is it a script I can look at modifying? (I understand shell scripts and Python ok, Perl not so much)
Thanks.
