Bug#101916: nf_http_fetchfile error, uninstallable stable Debian 2.2.r3

[Janos Holanyi <csani@lme.linux.hu>]

Hi,

Ok, I found it out.
They changed the proxy setup and the IP I was trying from had been blocked
out... sorry for opening this bug without checking this.

How can I close it (maybe even purge it from BTS :)))?

Thanks for the hint.
