Thanks for your bugreport.
I tried to reproduce this issue today on my oneiric system and installing
packages from a proxy work for me.
Here is what I did:
1. open gnome-control-center
2. go the network capplet there
3. add method: manual and proxy "localhost" port 3128 (this is my proxy config)
4. click on "apply system-wide", enter password
5. start software-center
6. navigate to a random package (2vcard in my case)
7. install it
8. verify via /var/log/squid/access.log that its actually fetched from the
proxy:
1317197446.264 206 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/200 14717 GET
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/2/2vcard/2vcard_0.5-3_all.deb -
DIRECT/91.189.88.46 application/x-debian-package
1317197465.482 142 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/404 481 HEAD
http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/screenshot-with-version/2vcard/0.5-3 -

So I would like to ask for more information. I see some references to
usename/password - is this a problem with authenticated
proxies maybe only?
Please note that setting the proxy systemwide is essential for this to work as
the package install service (aptdaemon) runs
as a seperate user then the software-center.
** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
