Can't get up2date started

All,
I've completely run out of ideas on this, so please excuse an obvious
question. I have read all the stuff about bug #102272 and the proxy
settings and have done this hoodles of times - I just can't remember
what else I'm missing ...
I'm replacing a customer's FC2 machine, which they want to stay on FC2,
so on new hardware I loaded the FC2 CDs - all OK. Then I put the machine
onto my network to get it do a full up2date.
m/c ip: 192.168.1.39
web-proxy: 83.104.103.142
new machine can ping web-proxy; can telnet to web-proxy, can use the
squid server on web-proxy to see webpages. The webproxy is a simple
squid non-authenticating proxy.
The sequence:
# export http_proxy=http://83.104.103.142:3128
# /usr/sbin/up2date -u -v
produces the usual TypeError: iterable argument required
I've been staring the bug listing in the face until I've gone blue but
I can't see what I have missed :-(
Can any kind soul throw me the missing piece ?
Jonathan
