Public bug reported: 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.
