Bug Description

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

KPackageKit was using proxy information from ".kde/share/config/kioslaverc" to connect the mirrors. Since the proxy information was no longer valid, it fails to do anything. If I was doing an update, it stalled. If I was doing an upgrade, it fails to download all the packages and reported "download failed".

The proxy information was only ".kde/share/config/kioslaverc". Konqueror was reporting "direct connection", as the System Settings -> Network Settings application.

1) Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
2) kpackagekit 0.4.2-0ubuntu3
3)When I changed the proxy setting from using a proxy server to not using it I expected packagekit to use this new configuration.
4)Kpackagekit uses the old proxy configuration for upgrading packages but not for install it or update the list of packages available.
