Re: updating through a proxy
Unfortunately, that didn't work. Although dpkg-http doesn't depend on
libc6 iteslf, some of the items which it did depend upon eventually led

manually, and using "dftp select" to generate a list of updated
packages. I then downloaded and installed them manually.
All in all, it wasn't as painful as I expected...
