I have upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 and so
I reinstalled texlive-2009. I have problems updating.
Since there was a problem in updating using the original gui,
I updated it by downloading and installing a fresh version of tlmgr using
the
shell file given in the tex repository. The problems still persist.
If I try to set the remote repository using gui,
I get the following error message:
*************************
Use of uninitialized value $defaults{"backupdir"} in string ne at
/opt/texlive/2009/texmf/scripts/texlive/tlmgrgui.pl line 1112.

I tried to update using command line. I get the following message:
****************************
sudo tlmgr update --all -repository

tlmgr: package repository
ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet
TLDownload::get_file: response error:
  500 LWP::Protocol::MyFTP: connect: Connection timed out
permanent server connection set up, but downloading did not succeed!Retrying
with wget.
***************************
The proxy server doesn't seem to be a problem. Aptitude is able to download
debian packages.
What is the solution this problem?
Best,
