[Bug 274421] Re: Cannot download fonts, "Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/"

[Poppafuze]

Confirmed bug.  I am a proxy wizard...all other proxy functions work
(other than other known bugs).  Browser, GNOME, http_proxy, synaptic
proxy...all work, except for the sloppy scripts in this one package that
I can't remove because that doesn't work, either (see below).

env | grep http
http_proxy=http://poppafuze:my;proxy;password@myproxy.mydomain.tld:80/

Error parsing proxy URL
http://poppafuze:my;proxy;password@myproxy.mydomain.tld:80/: Bad port
number.

...also failed to parse...

env | grep http
http_proxy=http://poppafuze:my;proxy;password@myproxy.mydomain.tld:80

Error parsing proxy URL
http://poppafuze:my;proxy;password@myproxy.mydomain.tld:80: Bad port
number.

Also, please note the related symptom:  The rm script attempts to download the packages again upon removal. 
So if someone wants to remove that package because it can't auth to a proxy, the package removal fails because it tries to use the proxy upon removal.  This is actually a separate bug.
