[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

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 :

""
Failed to download and install the key 0x33E0E91BDD8E7F4B53837F09E131728675254D99 from hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/:
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpfrWWtz/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpfrWWtz/pubring.gpg' created

    keyserver, keyid))

"""

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.
