[Bug 545134] Re: Ubuntu Software Centre ignores system and apt Proxy settings

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

The workaround for this bug has been to use Synaptic. But in Ubuntu
11.10, Synaptic will not be shipped by default. People wanting to
install Synaptic will be told to install it from USC. But they can't do
that if USC can't connect through their proxy. Therefore, I'm promoting
this to High importance.
