After many web searches, and finding out that other people are having the same problem, I figured I'd ask here. I'm running Dapper through a 802.11g connection through squid on a different machine also running on Dapper. I've got the same proxy settings configured in the system control panel, in apt.conf and via bashrc to the http_proxy environment variable. Now here's the interesting part.
Starting Adept from the K menu, no updates will be fetched and no packages downloaded.
However, if I start adept from the terminal with sudo adept, everything works fine - fetching new lists, downloading updates, everything.
This behaviour is the same no matter how I configure the proxy settings. I've tried everything from fixed settings to automatic proxy configuration scripts - the problem stays the same. Adept through sudo works, but not through the K menu and kdesu.
If anyone here has any hunches of why this might be, I'd certainly appreciate it!
