Comment 4 for bug 633008

@Daniel the issue here is not about generic http proxy. it concern specific apt proxy called apt-cacher. which is a server that intercepts apt requests and downloads them to a cache so that anyone within the lan who needs such packages would not need to download it from the internet. All I have to do is add the proxy detail to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy synaptic package manager also supports it under settings/preference/networking kpackagekit does not have support for it at all and its a very big deal breaker for many within large organisations who use Kubuntu.
