[Bug 1699789] Re: Ubuntu server installer misses http/s proxy settings for Landscape

[Eric Desrochers]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
- The Ubuntu Xenial installer doesn't offer option to provide http/https
- proxy to be used by Landscape client when selecting "Manage system with
- Landscape" on upgrades management tasksel question. Therefore if system
- is placed behind proxy it will not be able to communicate with Landscape
- server. During system installation installer is asking user to provide
- proxy that is used by APT. It would be suitable that same proxy would be
- used for Landscape.
+ Handle SystemExit exception, as those don't propagate past the reactor.
+ 
+ It is hanging forever in environments (installer-chroot) where the
+ broker will not start.
  
  [Test Case]
  
- Install Ubuntu server behind a proxy and select "Manage system with Landscape" on upgrades management tasksel question. The installer should offer the option to specify the proxy settings for the landscape-clint and successfully apply them to /etc/landscape/client.conf as:
- http_proxy = <your-proxy>
- https_proxy = <your-proxy>
+ To test:
+ 
+ $ ln -s /bin/echo /etc/init.d/landscape-client && sudo ./scripts
+ /landscape-config --silent
+ 
+ Script should timeout and not run forever.
  
  Replace <your-proxy> with your proxy IP/hostname and port if needed.
