[tex-live] TeXLive-2018 fails to update across firewall

    We will learn from you!!!

I'd rather you don't.

Anyway. Here's a problem. One machine seems to be unable to reach the 'Net. It sets proxy correctly (at least the IP address and the port are right). It sanitized the path, so it uses an old python 2.7.10 - while the rest of the system has been configured to use  the current python 2.7.15 (with its corresponding libraries, etc), but offhand I can't tell if it matters. It claims to be the latest version available, and it doesn’t update worth ****.

Here's the log:

Also, this is of concern, and I don’t know why on this machine texlive seems to be blown:
