[Bug 431217] Re: package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 2.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Joe]

Jean-Baptiste - I tried your instructions and it fails for the same
reason the ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails: ubuntu does not honor the
proxy settings for certain use cases, like this.

Even though I have a proxy clearly defined, and it's used most of the
time, i.e. web access and straight-up usage of synaptic, netstat -tn
while the ttf-mscorefonts-installer is hanging shows that it dumbly
ignoring the system proxy settings and trying to connect directly to the
internet, which of course fails every time.

The add-apt-repository command fails for the same reason: it does not
honor the system proxy setting.
