[whole "story"]

[Sorry, but I found that other bug report first, and just now I realize this
one is more related to. Essentially:]
After trying to get installed msttcorefonts through synaptic using proxy, I got
a '407 Authentication Required'. I figured out how to get those *.exe files
needed locally and I included the proper configuration on my /etc/hosts in
order to let synaptic downloads them from localhost. I "unconfigured" my proxy
settings ("direct connection" in global and synaptic specific settings) and
then again I got a '407 Authentication Required'. Why? I found that synaptic
was using this entry on /var/cache/debconf/config.dat:
Name: msttcorefonts/http_proxy
Template: msttcorefonts/http_proxy
Value: <my_proxy_host_and_port>
Owners: msttcorefonts
I needed to unset that "Value" property in order to get synaptic not
using proxy even when I have a "direct connection" setting on both
global proxy configuration and synaptic proxy configuration. Is that
ok?? I mean, am I the only one who doesn't like that??
