Re: dpkg: Update failures

[Hucheng CHEN <chc@bnl.gov>]

It is strange that I can't find any info about my http proxy setting, I can't
find /etc/apt/apt.conf, and /etc/environment has only "LANG=C".

But when I installed the system, I surely set up the http proxy, and now dselect
can work fine with my previous setting, but where is the http setting located?

Thanks,

Hucheng
