Len,

Based on output from

'apt-cache search --names-only proxy'

I ran

'apt-get remove --purge anon-proxy privoxy'

and then the output from

'grep 4001 -r /etc/'

revealed no further http proxy entries.

apt-get update works fine now, and my system is updating 
even as I write this.  Thank you, everyone, for all of 
your help and patience.
