Missing dependencies for SOCKS support with system SOCKS proxy (Tor)

[MatzFan]

When trying to install an applet I get the following error message:
Could not download zip for <applet name>: Missing dependencies for SOCKS support.

To reproduce
Setup a system SOCKS proxy using Tor:
i.e. sudo apt install tor and then set network SOCKS proxy to host 127.0.0.1 and port 9050:

Launch mintupdate from Terminal
Add an applet (I am trying batterymonitor@pdcurtis) and try and install it from the GUI
See above error in Terminal

Expected behavior
Applet zip should download and applet be installed with no Terminal error

Distribution:

• LMDE 6 Faye

Software version:
mintUpdate 6.0.9
