aptdaemon cannot import key when buying a software in software-center behind a (simple) proxy

[Michel-Ekimia]

Whan you try to Buy a software from the software center , it fails at importing the corresponding the keyring and thus never start to download and install the package.

the problem seems to be with gpg that does not use the http_proxy to retrive the key , the error returned is like :

""

How to reproduce :

- Install ubuntu 12.04.3 64 bits

- Configure a simple http_proxy http://server:port in the proxy preferences of the system

- Try to install IntelliJidea from the Software center

- And error message is displayed about the error downloading the keyring , click OK

- Thus an error message is displayed saying that the packages will be unanthenticated. clicking repair won't fix the problem as you would expect.
