--- Comment #14 from Senthil Nachimuthu 2007-10-07 10:58:50 MST ---
I can replicate the same problem in openSUSE 10.3 GM (x86_64). Zypper (zypper
ar) or adding software repositories under "Yast > Software Repositories" fails
with a curl error 407. The problem is because curl doesn't read the proxy
authentication information (username/password).
The problem is in the /root/.curlrc file. The autogenerated file contains:
---------------------------------------------
# Changed by YaST2 module proxy 09/19/07
--proxy-user "username:password"
--proxy "http://proxy.domain.com:8080"
---------------------------------------------
This file is missing the "=" (equal to) sign between the name and the value. I
modified this file manually to:
---------------------------------------------
# Changed by YaST2 module proxy 09/19/07
--proxy-user = "username:password"
--proxy = "http://proxy.domain.com:8080"
---------------------------------------------
After adding the = sign in this file, it works fine.
This is a show stopper bug. Until this is fixed, users behind a corporate
firewall cannot update their opensuse 10.3 installation, making it unable to
apply security updates. Hence, I mark this as high priority.
Please update the Suse proxy configuration tool to generate the /root/.curlrc
file correctly.
