[Bug 820383] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer must not take care of apt-proxy when download fonts from http

[Will Rouesnel]

The problem is that if you're using an apt specific proxy (like apt-
cacher-ng) then you'll have your apt configured with an http proxy (i.e.
192.168.1.1:3142), then it will reject general non-apt requests (like a
request for an exe file download, as the installer does).

This means that the ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails to actually download
any fonts, even though internet connectivity is fine. There doesn't seem
to be a way to disable the proxy logic (a button you can check on the
EULA page would help a lot).
