[Bug 820383] Re: package-data-downloader fails if apt is configured to use an http proxy that only supports package downloading

[Christer Sundgren]

Solved this with 
sudo -s 
apt-get  --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Looks like running apt-get with sudo does not get the proxy definition, see sequence: 
$ env | grep http 
http_proxy=http://proxy.telia.se:808

$ sudo env | grep http 
<no output>

$:~$ sudo -s 
# env | grep http
http_proxy=http://proxy.telia.se:808

when logging in as root the proxy is back .

  I have ONLY an apt-proxy defined here

  cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy
  Acquire::http::proxy "http://192.168.100.58:3142/";

  i must temporary move the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy then do a

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer

  to get the font installer ignore the DEB proxy... and can get the
  fonts via web...
