Natty is now end-of-life. This bug has been fixed in supported releases (quantal, precise, backport requested for lucid).

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.
