Hi thanks for the replies Alexander and William.
As I already wrote back to William Hooper on Usenet:

This is good advice, but unfortunately this seem to be a different bug.
I have up2date-4.1.21-3, and I tried running up2date directly as root
with the HTTP_PROXY variable set in order to avoid the bug described in
that report (suid python programs stripping environment variables for
security, thus losing HTTP_PROXY).
Unfortunately I get the same error as before, which is urllib error -2,
'Name or Service not known', as opposed to 110, which that bug report shows.
Any other ideas, anyone?
Thanks
