Hi All, Can anyone enlighten me that if a proper fix to the you/zipper failure behind a proxy server on OpenSuse 12.1 is available yet? This I believe has been recorded as Novell Bug 732866, but marked as resolved (and closed on 2012-03-13). https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732886#c23 The last comment on the call suggests libzypp-10.3.0 would have included the patch. However, under 12.1 with libzypp-10.3.7, I am still experiencing the problem. I should also add that, I have also mounted cntlm kit as suggested by Trevor Woerner on 8 March. This works round it, however, on a ssh log-in session, but not directly on the console or using you/yast2. With cntlm loaded and from a ssh log-in session, I have updated the system including kernel from 3.1.0 to 3.1.9. Still, we actually need to have a proper fix on this to enable automated updates. Many thanks.
