[Bug 633008] Re: [Maverick] kpackagekit won't honor apt proxy setings

[bigbrovar]

@Daniel the issue here is not about generic http proxy. it concern
specific apt proxy called apt-cacher. which is a server that intercepts
apt requests and downloads them to a cache so that anyone within the lan
who needs such packages would not need to download it from the internet.
All I have to do is add the proxy detail to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy
synaptic package manager also supports it under
settings/preference/networking kpackagekit does not have support for it
at all and its a very big deal breaker for many within large
organisations who use Kubuntu.
