  purchased software download fails with and breaks apt proxy

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  I used Software Center -> Get Software -> For Purchase and bought
  "Ricks Wallpapers" for $1.00 USD.  The purchase process went fine, but
  the install failed, and has now left my apt cache in a bad state.

  After the purchase process, Software Center spun its wheels for a very
  long time (several minutes) until finally a popup error window
  delivered this error:

  W: Failed to fetch https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/ri
  cks-wallpaper/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  Proxy CONNECT
   aborted
  E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used
   instead.

  'sudo apt-get update'  also fails with the same error message.

  
  The problem apparently occurs because of my apt-cache-ng proxy setup (which works fine otherwise).  I have a one line file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy:
     Acquire::http { Proxy "http://my.proxy.host:3142"; };

  If I disable my apt proxy by commenting out the Acquire line, then I
  am able to install "Ricks Wallpapers" from Software Center.  And 'apt-
  get update' then yields only "Ign https://...ricks-wallpaper..." (no
  error).    But then even after having successfully installed the
  package, re-enabling my proxy Acquire line causes 'apt-get update' to
  fail with the same error above.
