I have a computer which is on a network with a proxy configured (where
the "Apply system-wide" button was used) on which the USC fails to
install software with an error dialogue of:
"Failed to download package files
Check your Internet connection."
I am able to browse the internet in Firefox and install packages from
the command line using aptitude on this same computer.
